Customer Review: VERY GOOD BOOK
This is a very good book for all coaches. If you like to work all the basic stuff for your team, you can get some ideas from this book. I managed to work some of the exercises in my team [youths at age of 13 (boys)] and I have very good results…
A “must have” book!!!Customer Review: Great info
This book offers a plethora of drills and advice for parents who want to coach their kid’s team. The diagrams and explanations are thorough and the drills can be adapted for children ages 11 and up.Alan Safani
