Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
To be competitive on the soccer field, players need strong technical skills and good tactical sense. Now even experienced players can raise their performance another notch with these 69 challenging practice drills. You’ll find drills to
• develop the ability and confidence to handle defensive pressure,
• improve field vision and decision making,
• master advanced skills to use in specific game situations, and
• apply these skills successfully within a team framework.
The drills in this book go beyond the basics—they’re more challenging and more fun. And they’re organized according to specific objectives, with a drill finder to help you select the drills that work on the areas you want to improve. Each drill is presented in a two-page format with complete instructions, key points, and a clear diagram.
Better practice means better performance. Advanced Soccer Drills is the perfect practice tool for developing the high-level skills and soccer sense needed to excel.

The entire book is filled with all kinds of drills (most of them are very creative but there are some that are imposable to acheive or exsecute; there are few drills that I would not recommend to a coach). If you're not a coach this book is NOT for you!!!

This book is similar in concept to the book "Dutch Soccer Drills Vol.I" by Richard Kentwell, which I also reviewed. The fundamental comments and criticisms that I made in that review about training for soccer by running such rigid patterns apply to this book as well. This book also does not have hardly anything in the way of tips on basic techniques for ball control.
There are several reasons why I give this book a slightly higher rating: First, the diagrams of the drills are more simply laid out and are easier to understand - and so if your soccer training philosophy actually includes running such rigid pattern drills, this book might actually be a useful guide for such training. Second, many of the diagrams simply describe how to lay out a simple "skill" type of drill to practice a particular type of skill, rather than running a complex pattern drill. Third, the book has some interesting comments about how the ODP (Olympic Development Program) selection process is run (at least by Schmidt et al in his region). Fourth, the commentary accompanying each drill is better written and tells you what each drill is actually supposed to teach.
