POSSESSION is a book for coaches of all levels who want their teams to pass the ball and pass it well. It combines a thorough explanation of possession concepts with 30 practical possession exercises to help your team develop its ability to keep the ball. Easy-to-understand diagrams help you understand the layout and design of these exercises. More importantly, the exercises include explanations about the critical coaching points AND the most common mistakes the players will make when playing these exercises. These insightful tips give coaches a head start by showing you what to expect once an exercise begins, the mistakes to look for and the proper corrections to make.
BEFORE YOU BUY: The first section of this book is devoted to the concept of possession. Fourteen of the chapters in this section have been pulled directly from Soccer iQ Volumes 1 & 2. If you have read either/both of these books, you've read a lot of the material in Section 1. The overlap in material is reflected in POSSESSION's low price point.
