This review is from: Soccer Speed (Spiral-bound)
It is a great book for training for speed in soccer. It is short, on the point and has a set of excellent practice programs which one can use. It definitely helped me a lot to develop a personalized training system. The shortcoming is that it doesn't discuss to much the physiology of the exercises.
