Coaching Set Plays
Soccer Set Plays (set pieces, restarts, dead ball situations and all that stuff) are critical for the success of any player or team. The difference between winning and losing is often the successful execution of set play situations both on offense and defense. It has been calculated that as many as 40% of all goals scored are from set play situations. In a 20 game season, what if you could score 5 more goals and concede 5 less goals - a 10 goal spread: the difference between first and second place, winning and losing, champions and runners up. The video utilizes 3-D graphics and professional game footage featuring world class players and teams to thoroughly explain all teaching points.
Systems of Play
Confused by the numbers game? Help is here! Finally, a program that simplifies the mysteries of soccer Systems of Play. This program has been developed to help the countless thousands of soccer coaches who are unsure about the tactical deployment of players. Is the 4-4-2 or the 3-5-2 the best system? What about the 4-3-3? Or the 3-4-3? There is no such thing as a "best" system, but there is a system that is best for your team. No team uses a system that has never been seen before - most teams use variations of familiar themes - successful teams change and disguise their tactical positioning of players.
