5.0 out of 5 stars A sage shares..., December 21, 1999
This review is from: Winning Soccer (Spalding Sports Library) (Paperback)
Though the book goes over various common tactics and techniques (always useful), what I liked most about the book is the is the philosophies of the author. Precepts of good coaching don't change. A quality coach like Yeagley reafirms what I'm trying to do is right when sometimes I'm unsure. Any good coach would want this book as a barometer check.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good for learning the general strategy of soccer., December 19, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Winning Soccer (Spalding Sports Library) (Paperback)
Yeagley is the coach at Indiana University (that just won the 1998 NCAA Championship). In the book, he talks about in a general way you attack and defend as a team. A lot of soccer books focus on drills and diagrams, but this one describes general strategies: attack strategies like staying wide, diagonal runs, blind side runs, and overlapping; and defense strategies like staying compact, pressuring, supporting the pressure, and delay. You get to hear it from the guy who knows.

But what I really like about the book are the intense black and white photos of Indiana games. They're great!
