Synopsis

There are complimentary YouTube videos to help you follow along for several chapters in this book.

A player who could hardly defend. A bleak soccer future as a bench-warmer. An athlete who lacked confidence in their game.

Are you or a loved one enjoying soccer, but can’t stand not being confident on how to defend?

Do you or a child have a problem stopping the team from shooting?

Are you a parent or player that would love to stop the dribble of each opponent but struggle even stopping the foot skills of one player?

If any of these situations describe you, you are not alone. Coaches of soccer are good at having the team work together. Sadly, your abilities as an individual are often lost in the team’s tactics unless you are the star player on the team. The coach lets the best player do as they please but every other player must do their job, even though the coach may not always teach exactly how to do that job.

This is great when you are the favorite player, but more often than not you are just existing on the field and not really contributing to your team in the way you want to.

Outcomes of applying the facts in this book:
-Understand how to stop an attacker every time (plus a few mindsets to avoid).
-Learn the proper body positioning and placement in relation to the defender.
-Remove the toxic habits you need to break.

Why does learning these things matter?
Well, building your knowledge grows your confidence. Self-esteem is key for any soccer player and building the belief in yourself and your child will allow them to play to the level you know they can play.

You may think those are all well and great, but “how can a book really deliver on increasing the abilities of yourself, son, daughter, or team?”

Excitingly, this book lays out step-by-step what you should work on and the most important keys to being able to perform on the field. Yes, other author’s will fill up their pages with tips for various situations, but never really say which things to know are the most important and will make the biggest difference in your game. This book does exactly that.

It is time for hours of Soccer Defending to finally pay off. Become the player, coach, or parent that changes every game from here on out. Pick up your copy today by clicking BUY NOW.

About this title

About the Author

There he was, a soccer player who had difficulties scoring. He wanted to be the best but lacked the confidence and know-how to make his goal a reality. Every day, he dreamed about improving, but the average coaching and lack of knowledge left him feeling alone and like he couldn't attain his goal. He was a quiet player and his performance often went unnoticed.

This all changed after his junior year on the Varsity team of one of the largest high schools in the state. During the team and parent banquet at the end of the season, his coach decided to say something nice about each player. When it came to his turn to receive praise, the only thing that could be said was that he had scored two goals that season against a lousy team, so they didn't really count...

It was a very painful statement that after the 20+ game season, all that could be said of his efforts were two goals that didn't count. Since that moment, he's been forever changed considering one of his greatest fears came true; he was called out in front of his family and friends. Because of that, he got serious. With a new soccer mentor, he focused on the training necessary to build his confidence and become the goal scorer he always dreamed of being. The next season, after just a few months, he found himself moved up to the starting position of center midfielder and scored his first goal of the 26-game season in only the third game.

He kept up the additional training led by a proven goal scorer to build his knowledge. Fast forward to present day and as a result of the focus on the necessary skills, he figured out how to become a goal scorer who averages about two goals and an assist per game, all because of an increase in his understanding of how to play soccer. With the help of a soccer mentor, he took his game from bench-warmer who got called out in front of everybody to the most confident player on the field. Currently, he is a soccer trainer in Michigan who's been guiding soccer players for over a decade.
