Though the book goes over various common tactics and techniques (always useful), what I liked most about the book is the is the philosophies of the author. Precepts of good coaching dont change. A quality coach like Yeagley reafirms what Im trying to do is right when sometimes Im unsure. Any good coach would want this book as a barometer check.  by: Anonymous On: 1998-12-19
Yeagley is the coach at Indiana University (that just won the 1998 NCAA Championship). In the book, he talks about in a general way you attack and defend as a team. A lot of soccer books focus on drills and diagrams, but this one describes general strategies: attack strategies like staying wide, diagonal runs, blind side runs, and overlapping; and defense strategies like staying compact, pressuring, supporting the pressure, and delay. You get to hear it from the guy who knows.But what I really like about the book are the intense black and white photos of Indiana games. Theyre great!
