Youth Soccer Coach

– Johan Cruyff (Dutch Soccer Legend)

I agree with the first part of Cruyff’s statement but I don’t agree with the second part; I believe it is EASY to play ‘simple soccer’. Perhaps more importantly, playing ‘simple’ actually turns out to be the most effective way of playing the game in my opinion, certainly for youth teams.

In this book, you will learn how to coach your players in a simple, easy to understand but extremely effective way. The ideas and advice contained in the following chapters are straight forward, to the point and will ensure you become a much better soccer coach.

You might be just starting out as a new soccer coach or you may already have been involved in the game for some time; either way, you will be able to take a lot away from this book and implement it immediately to improve your team. More importantly, you will be able to improve your individual players which has to be the number one goal for all youth soccer coaches.

I have intentionally kept the book relatively brief (20 pages) and not included pointless content to fill space. All of the advice and information is directly targeted at improving your coaching skills which will consequently improve your players and your team.
