5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for little league football coaches, June 21, 2007

By	Bill Wright "Bill" (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews

As a little league coach, I found that this book was a very informative and helpful resource for me in coaching my son's team. Having had minimal knowledge of the specifics of coaching football, Coach Myers book provided me with detailed and step-by step coaching points as to how to train the young boys to play the game. It is a very thorough, technically sound guide,yet easy to use. I have recommended this book to all of my friends who are coaching their sons teams.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book on the market, July 14, 2007

By	Scott L. Vestal (Denton, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Coach Myers' has really done his homework. It is very detailed and organized. I cannot imagine any book on wide receivers being easier to understand or useful. Coach Myers' really brakes wide receiver play down in this book so meticulously that there is nothing left to chance. Every detail and nuance is gone over. As a guy who has spent most of his time on defense at the college level, this book has truly changed my thought process on wide receiver play. Make no mistake, the difference IS in the details.

Well structured, well written, highly informative!
My son is making very good progress as we work through this book.
I have spent many years as a military and commercial pilot instructor dealing with all sorts of instructional manuals for dynamic rather than just classroom instruction.
This one is excellent.
