These practices will provide players with an enjoyable and challenging environment that will in turn encourage them to be creative, independent decision-makers. To support the coach's understanding of what makes an effective session, a range of more than 40 practices are provided, which can be used as given or easily adapted to meet players' needs. These practices will develop a range of playing skills and can even be combined to create sessions for a complete training curriculum for the season. Finally, with this book, coaches will gain a better understanding of the crucial role that they play in players' long-term development, helping them to appreciate the skills they already have while identifying other areas in which to improve. This book can also be used by more seasoned coaches to gain ideas and breathe new life into their coaching by encouraging them to be creative and innovative in planning and delivering training sessions. The Intelligent Soccer Coach is a book that coaches will return to time and again for inspiration and ideas that will ensure both the coach and the players continue to develop and enjoy the Beautiful Game.
