Great Coaching Advice July 2, 2008
This is a well written book about the game of women's soccer. There are a lot of practical advice as well as several diagrams and plays for success on the soccer field. I would highly recommend this book for coaches as well as others who would like to learn about competitive soccer.
 Great book on sports psychology, motivation, and organization February 8, 2008
I came across this book while searching for books on sports psychology and motivation. I coach boys lacrosse, but after reading a few excerpts, I knew that Coach Dorrance had some interesting ideas and I bought the book. Even though he focuses on soccer and women's soccer in particular, his ideas and observations apply to any team sport and were facinating and very helpful. His approach to fitness, practice, and competition were especially thought provoking, and while seemingly simple, have shown great results. Good read and highly recommended for coaches of all sports.
Value system for life July 8, 2006
Anson Dorrance provides an excellent framework to guide young adults in developing character, leadership and respect for others. This book is about much more than soccer...it is a guide for life.
A Coaching Must Have March 10, 2006
If you are considering coaching at any level, this is a must read. Anson translates his passion for soccer into an enjoyable and easy read. His honesty regarding technique, strategy and motivation will improve anyone's coaching ability. Highly recommended.
