Book Reviews of Science and Soccer
Book Review: Advance Soccer Progress
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fairly academic look at the world of soccer. Covering everything from psychology, physiology and diet. For those coaches out there who need that extra edge this is highly recommended. However it would not be ideal for those coaches just starting out, or with a youth squad.
The book bravely covers a lot of ground, and so can provide some sound insight into some parts of the game that are left out of standard coaching manuals.
It would not, however, suit readers who want to know particular information about the changes in biology during a game or other in depth science such as that.
Summary of Science and Soccer
This fully revised and updated edition of the classic text Science and Soccer looks at the application of sports science to the world's most popular sport. It explores the latest scientific research and development in every key facet of the game, including: coaching and training techniques, nutritional programs, injury prevention and rehabilitation, and match analysis. Essential reading for support staff, coaches, physiotherapists and psychologists, the book directly addresses the massive expansion of the game in the US, including important new chapters on talent identification and the growth and development of youth players, as well as new research on women soccer players.Food Sciences Books
