“A soccer coaching book that harnesses the ethos of ‘Maximum Participation”

The soccer drills and exercises in Modern Attacking & Goalscoring have been carefully selected to be challenging for players, of all levels, and to provide a well rounded education on the technique needed in front of goal.

In addition, the book’s two authors believe that the best goalscoring training doesn’t come from players waiting in lines to shoot from predetermined positions. Instead the practices are designed to incorporate the principles of ‘Maximum Participation’.

The drills include 2v1, 3v2 and small sided team games. These ensure as many players as possible can be involved in every exercise. This is both beneficial for players and ensures you can get the maximum value from every training session.

Co-written by a Liverpool FC academy coach, Modern Attacking & Goalscoring provides you with goalscoring training sessions your players will both enjoy and from which they will gain the mindset, technique and confidence to score more frequently.
