Coaching Combination Play - From Build Up to Finish

Excellent look at football teamwork, large clear illustrations throughout , useful for coaches and players

Good content quick delivery

The best book I've read on the coaching & development of build up play through the thirds. Great detail! Fantastic!

I bought this book and initial thoughts are: the detail is impressive - technical and tactical info is clear and precise. It's A4 size so easy on the eye with great diagrams. There is a big focus on lots of different ways to play out from the back (rather than just lumping it up field!) with specific practices recommended to do this. Overall this book presents a whole system for controlling possession from the beginning to finish. The coaching points are in-depth and clarify the key challenges for individual players ( "Can you....." etc.) Also I like that the practices are geared for a realistic number of players (e.g 10 to 14) mostly using half a pitch. Some of it is maybe more for elite level / academy players but there's good stuff here for any player and coach to learn. Very readable with lots of new and useful ideas and practices to explore!

nice graphics, color coding, and description. Don't agree with everything but tactically correct education.
