The Modern Soccer Coach: Pre-Season Training
This book looks at how pre-season has changed over the past ten years, and offers ways for coaches to adapt their work and methods to deal with these changes accordingly. Pre-season is about much more than fitness testing, long-distance running, and gruelling physical work. It's about new, innovative ways to engage players so that they want to train at the maximum every day, and push towards new limits for the new season ahead.
With over 60 training exercises designed specifically to challenge your players to their maximum physically, technically, tactically, and mentally, this is pre-season training like you have never seen it before.
