Dear Coach,

Whatever level you’re coaching at, it can be difficult to gauge how to progress soccer drills and exercises in a way that helps your players to improve. As you know, the only way players can improve is through progressively increasing the complexity and difficulty of soccer drills. But how do you know which ones to switch to over the course of a season?

The Complete Soccer Coaching Guide – 76 Training Sessions that Develop the Advanced Player shows you how with a progressive series of soccer drills taught by one of the country’s sharpest college coaches. Featuring every training session of Rochester University, during the fall season of 2010, this book provides you with a calendar of progressive soccer drills you can use to challenge your players and help them to reach the next level.

These soccer drills helped Rochester University prepare for their run to the NCAA Elite 8 and a final NSCAA national ranking of 6th. And they can help you too to improve the quality, quantity and timing of soccer training sessions so that your players are physically and mentally prepared for every game of the season.

There are plenty of books packed with soccer drills, but very few give you the structured and progressive approach to training you will gain from The Complete Soccer Coaching Guide – 76 Training Sessions that Develop the Advanced Player.

What a wonderful companion The Complete Soccer Coaching Guide is for any coach to have alongside him as he prepares and moves through his season. Chris Apple takes you right into the heart of college soccer and gives you a day by day guide through his Season. It is very easy to see why he is successful every year as every practice has meaning. In the short college season there is no time to waste and he explains on both a daily, monthly and seasonal basis how he puts everything together.

All the key topics are addressed. Technical work, Finishing, Defending, Pattern Play, Shaping, Fitness and even Regeneration are all discussed. It truly is a bible for the young coach, and the not so young coach. I have been involved in professional and college soccer since 1962 and I just loved reading Chris Apple’s book. I thought that I pretty much knew it all after my time in the game but I got plenty to think about as I leafed through the pages and felt I got right inside the mind of one of the country’s sharpest soccer minds.

If it is drills and practices you are after then this book is crammed full. We all need variety in practice and new drills are always welcomed. However, what I enjoyed most is not just the practices themselves, but how they are used and where they fit into a practice at a specific time in the Rochester season. There are many books that list practices but very few demonstrate where and how they should fit into a session. Bobby Clarke – Head Men’s Soccer Coach – University of Notre Dame

“It truly is a bible for the young coach, and the not so young coach”

Players can get bored if they have to work through the same drills, week in week out. Working through repetitive drills also doesn’t give them the opportunity to push themselves or improve. This is what makes The Complete Soccer Coaching Guide – 76 Training Sessions that Develop the Advanced Player different.

Everything is covered, including technical work, finishing, defending, pattern play, shaping, fitness and regeneration. The beauty of this book is that, rather than simply work through drill after drill, it shows you how to arrange soccer training exercises in a methodical way that is challenging for players and keeps them motivated.

Organized into a four month cycle, the drills begin with a focus on technical skills and defensive organization and finish with functional training and pattern play. The sessions are that could be easily used as a team curriculum for an entire season so you know exactly which drills to use and when, so you can provide more challenging soccer drills that can push your players to the next level.

The book covers every soccer drill and exercise over four months of the 2010 fall season. However, these drills can be easily rotated and reused to create a progressive coaching calendar for the entire season.
