Book excerpt: The Art of Football Soccer Coaching With over 150 football/soccer coaching sessions for the aspiring coach – plus further information on “How to Coach” Including many Goalkeeping sessions to help support your Goalkeepers. This book provides many coaching sessions and ideas for any football/soccer coaches. When I started coaching I realised there was very little out there to support coaches with sessions, I felt my experience and time put into coaching football may be useful to others. I spent months and months and months gathering the content for this book and developed the content over many many years. You may find some useful information, you may be an experienced coach or a parent wishing to get into coaching – I am confident there will be plenty in this book to support you or there will be some ideas to make you think differently about how you coach, why you coach, when do you coach, who to coach etc… etc.. etc… However, my main aim was to provide many sessions/ideas which I have provided in this book. With over 150 x sessions and further information to support coaches. I am confident this book will definitely benefit coaches around the world and could also support parents to understand what the coach is thinking or trying to achieve. It is football specific however, many of these coaching points, tips, techniques, styles can be used and applied to any sport. Coaching is an art and if you get it right the rewards for you, your players, your team mates, your club can be fantastic. When writing this book I tried to think holistically to provide more of a broad spectrum of information, when you coach, there is a lot going on !!! This book contains coaching sessions including: Warm up & Arrival Activities Goal Keeping Sessions Tactical Sessions Shooting Sessions Defending Sessions Control/Touch Sessions Passing Sessions Dribbling Sessions These sessions are perfect for any coach looking for additional support and practices. Especially newcomers to football coaching. REMEMBER - A good coach spends time researching, planning, doing & reviewing/evaluating. Barry provides further specific coaching knowledge through his other book. “Goalkeeping Football/Soccer Coaching Sessions” (with specific GK sessions & technical detail) “80 Football/Soccer Sessions for aspiring football coaches” Enjoy
