About
Are you looking to take your soccer game to the next level? That little extra could be in your home, backyard or in the off-season.
Whether it's an extremely harsh winter of an off-season, a pandemic caused by an extremely infectious pathogen or you just have too much of a break between games, your soccer game can stagnate. And then, you start playing again, and it takes a few weeks to get back to the same level. And, you are behind other players who were better prepared. Come the next game or next off-season, and the cycle repeats.
Or, maybe you're a fantastic player who just needs that little bit of extra practice on certain skills at your home/backyard.
In either case, this book is your answer.
So, many coaching books require complex equipment, copious resources and fantastic facilities. In writing Practice Soccer at Home, we are seeking to offer a guide for those times when we train alone, in our back yard, with little more than a ball and our immediate environment. Undertaking this additional work is important whether we are professionals seeking to perfect our technique at the highest level (why else would top professionals build home gyms into their luxurious houses?) or, more relevantly for this book, keen amateurs or youth players looking to develop our own game.
With jobs to hold down, school to attend and such like, it is unlikely that, in the best of times, we will get more than two formal training sessions per week, plus a match at the weekend. Realistically, it is likely to be just one session. In order to maximize our potential, we must do some work on our skills and endurance alone. The most practical place for many of us is to undertake this training at home. Why get in the car to drive to the gym or park if we have a back yard we could use instead? The answer is, of course, what to do in the back yard, and what to do it with! This book provides some answers to those questions.
Here's What's Included In This Book:
Training Equipment that You Might Need (with free substitute equipment)
Drills for individuals, pairs and small groups to try in their backyard
Some solo, paired and small group games to make training fun,
Exercises that can be undertaken at home and in the backyard to improve fitness and flexibility
Some mental health guidance
Outlines of key techniques for reference
Key skills on which the drills work
More than thirty diagrams to help with understanding the more complex drills
Even if you're in the middle of a busy soccer season with not much free time, you'll still gain a lot from this book.
