Summary: Great book for beginner soccer coach
Review: Recruited to help out with our town's first year in soccer, I ended up coaching the 1st & 2nd grade team. I knew nothing about soccer and this book helped me learn enough to keep ahead of that age level and give them fun drills to do each practice. I really liked how it was geared to the beginning coach and the younger player age levels.

Summary: Scores a goal witth each chapter.
Review: This book is almost as good as having Coach Clark right beside you. His advice is always humane; he is set on giving his players confidence and pride in the game. He also writes clearly and convincingly about the importance of teamwork and team loyalty. I wish he had been my coach!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Coaching Book
Review: This book is amazing no matter what sport you coach. I wish I had this book several years ago when I was coaching basketball. Lots of book teach drills, but this book gives you insight on how to really run a practice. I can't wait to try out these techniques.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The One Book You Should Have
Review: This book is truly all inclusive for the new or beginning coach. If you have to pick just one book to help you coach soccer pick this one. I am getting a fairly large soccer library and this is the best I've seen as a teach everything book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great coaching book for any coach of any sport at any level
Review: This book provides a fantastic knowledge and background of the game. While teaching you how to coach, it never loses track of the real reason that people are playing sports in the first place. A truly great book for anyone currently coaching or just getting in to coaching. Gives good drills and games as well as the background information needed to make them work. Gives advice for all aspects of coaching needed to make a team work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Uniquely effective approach to teaching kids soccer
Review: This is a wonderful guide to involving kids in soccer and teaching them the fundamentals of the game. I have been coaching my son's team for three seasons now, and this book has really changed my approach. I used coach Clark's drills and techniques this summer and watched the kids become more engaged in the sessions and improve their skills. Coach Clark has a uniquely effective approach to teaching children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Coaching Bible!
Review: This should be mandatory reading for ALL youth team coaches, at all levels! This is the BIBLE for coaches...and many other youth sport coaches would gain a lot of wisdom reading Clarks ideas!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic. Wonderful. The best book on coaching i've seen.
Review: Wow, I have never read a book like this before.

I think this book is a must for EVERY coach, and EVERY parent. As I moved through the chapters I was continually amazed that someone could make coaching seem so easy, so fun. In addition there is also a lot of common sense approaches on how to handle difficult situations that a coach will face, including playing time, parent input, gender issues etc. I feel like I am armed with a coaching weapon. I can't wait for next season.
