 Coaching Girls October 18, 2007
I have coached girls soccer for 8 years and I still found a few nuggets inside. I am really using the stuff on social issues and diet for teem girls.

Easy to read and understand. Good pictures. Very helpful if you have never coached before or just want to improve your knowledge of coaching.

Must Have For All Coaches March 9, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is a must have book for soccer coaches, especially coaches of girls soccer. I also recommend it for coaches of boys since 98% of the material translates over. The book not only details performing specific skills, tactics and team management, but also covers team and individual motivation and correction styles. This is where the book becomes a little more specific to females then males, which is a good thing because there are a lot of male coaches that coach all girl teams, and they need to understand what motivates boys doesn't work with most girls. While boys tend to be motivated by accomplishment, girls are motivated by relationships. Understanding that will be rewarding and help you bond with your players and develop them as a team.
Read this book and you will dramatically improve your coaching!
The ultimate guide for coaches of girls' soccer teams March 5, 2006

This book is all it claims to be. Clear, useful, full of great advice and fun training games and drills. Not a book about the author, but a real accent on the girls themselves. Brilliant.
It's been a bible for me for two years and I've recommended it to all my fellow coaches (who all want to know my 'secrets'!!)
Thanks John!
