Simple and effective
These are by far the simplest drills I've seen and practiced with my team. Real easy to do and remember for those who don't want complicated practices...good book!

Soccer practice made simple
I used to think soccer didn't require much strategy...you either had the skill or you didn't.The drills in this book helped me overcome my lack of skill.It also made me appreciate the sport a lot better.

I recommend this to parents who have kids playing soccer and who themselves have very little background in soccer like me.

These drills were a great way for me to get involved with my daughter's love for soccer.Now, I feel like I am participating in the sport with her.

It helped me understand!
I knew little about soccer before buying this book. The drills in it are very concise and "practical." They're real easy to perform and I can see immediate improvement after repetition. Great gift idea for someone you know who should learn more about the game.

Highly recommended
This book breaks down soccer skills into a variety of drills.Many ofthese drills can be performed alone, with another person, or in a teamconcept.I found them to be very practical while having enough variety tokeep them fun as well. The Olympic section documents the history ofOlympic soccer in a concise and entertaining manner.A good book to readif you want to fully enjoy this years' Olympics.

Nicely done!
Enjoyed the informative, easy-paced style. Unlike other books, this book did not treat me like a complete idiot, but introduced me to new subjectswith respect and good information. Would highly recommend this book tosoccer players and coaches of all levels. ... Read more

Excerpt: Palau competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Palau's Olympic delegation was led by Frank Kyota, the President of the Palau National Olympic Committee, and consisted of five athletes, three team officials and four coaches. This was an increase from the nation's two previous appearances at the Summer Olympic Games; four athletes had been sent to both the Sydney and Athens Games. Palau's Olympic team was one of the 117 that won no medals at the Games. Palau was the 119th national team to enter the Beijing National Stadium in the parade of nations during the Opening Ceremony. The country's flag bearer was freestyle wrestler Elgin Loren Elwais, the first Palauan athlete to have qualified for a Games based on his own performances. At the Closing Ceremony athletes entered in a less formal style, led by the flag bearers of all the competing nations. The Palauan flag was carried by swimmer Amber Yobech. Palau had two competitors in the sport of athletics, one in each of the men's and women's 100 m sprints. Jesse Tamangrow finished seventh out of eight competitors in a heat which included eventual bronze medallist Walter Dix. Despite setting a new personal best time of 11.38 seconds he did not advance to the quarterfinals of the competition.
