by Peter Prickett (Author)
It started with a question, "What are the fundamentals of soccer?"
Whilst there are hundreds of books that look into the specific principles of coaches like Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, and Marcelo Bielsa, there is no core, distilled text on the key principles of the game.
Until now.
Join best-selling author and coach - Peter Prickett - as he puts soccer under the microscope and breaks it down into its constituent parts. By addressing the two primary phases - in-possession and out-of-possession - the book examines the five attacking and five defending principles, plus the transitions between each phase, to reveal the underlying heart of the beautiful game.
These principles have underpinned coach education for decades and largely been unchallenged. When examining them, other deeper values emerge to support the one true principle - to score.
Designed for coaches and soccer fans interested in the theory of soccer, this handbook - filled with more than 90 illustrations and diagrams - is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the foundations that soccer is built on.
