'...an excellent resource for coaches and students and I see a real
need for it in today's game. It does a great job of combining
science with real-life coaching examples - for young soccer
players.' - David Weir, Everton Football Club
'...it would be impossible to find a more respected group of
authors for a text of this nature...'- Rick Fenoglio, Department of
Exercise and Sport Science, Manchester Metropolitan University, and
former Director of Strength and Conditioning, Bisham Abbey.'If
clubs and especially the coaches and all other individuals involved
in youth soccer adapt the principles outlined in Youth Soccer: From
Science to Performance, the team would not only have technically
gifted, but also physically and emotionally equipped well rounded
home grown players. I certainly recommend the book, and if in
doubt, just start reading the introduction and you'll probably find
it hard to put the book down.' - Lars B. Dahlin, Idrottsforum.org'I
