Are you a skilled soccer player who can't make it big? Is it because of your lack of physical and mental fitness?

This book will provide an excellent way to help with soccer fitness for players and coaches. The book will look at fitness for soccer and consider how this reflects and differs from general fitness. It will offer examples of ways in which players can enhance their endurance for playing soccer.
It will also look at the kind of fitness specifically needed for playing soccer at the highest level our ability allows, considering the science behind the practice. 'Soccer Fitness' will consider the different aspects of getting fit for soccer.
It will look at ways to develop upper body strength. There will be practical guidance offered with regards to plyometrics - specific training programmes to develop explosiveness of movement, and subsequent speed. Pace is needed in soccer, although it is a sprint and jog sport. The book will offer practical ways to develop the much-needed attribute of stamina as well.
It is not just physical fitness that is required to be a good football player, but mental awareness is vital; positioning, selecting passes, making runs, concentration - all are about developing good mental fitness to help make the best decisions in a fast-developing situation. This book will offer ways to enhance this.
We will also look at the kind of discipline needed to become fit enough to play soccer to the highest level we can, and how diet can aid with achieving this specific fitness for playing soccer. We hope that the book will offer insights to help us achieve what we all want in our sporting joys, whether playing at a fun amateur level, at local league standard, semi-professional level or even for those who dream of playing professionally.

<p>The fully revised third edition of the popular <em>Foundations of Sports Coaching</em> textbook aims to provide a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the practical and theoretical principles that underpin the sports coaching process, from both a participation and performance perspective.

It provides a wealth of real-world examples and up-to-date case studies from a wide range of sports to support the developing practitioner and help sports coaches understand how to apply key concepts and theories to their practice.</p><p>In addition, there are countless practical coaching tips, techniques and strategies to further support sports coaches in their practice and development. The book will provide the reader with the skills, knowledge and background they will need to prepare athletes and sports people technically, tactically and strategically, covering the key components of a sports coaching-related undergraduate course, including: </p><p>■ the continuing professionalisation of sports coaching</p><p>■ the International Sports Coaching Framework (I.C.C.E.)</p><p>■ the fundamental skills of a sports coach</p><p>■ how to coach populous groups</p><p>■ coaching philosophy</p><p>■ coaching pedagogy</p><p>■ creating a positive learning environment</p><p>■ talent ID and sevelopment</p><p>■ the reflective coach</p><p>■ performance analysis to support coach feedback.</p><p>This third edition updates the style of previous versions with all-new chapters focusing upon international professional practice frameworks, coaching philosophy, coaching pedagogy, talent identification and development, and reflective practice. All of these are critical for the contemporary practitioner to understand in order to ensure they provide the best possible coaching environment for their athletes to develop and succeed.</p><p>No other introductory textbook explains the importance of a holistic approach to sports coaching practice. This is an essential companion to any sports coaching course.</p>
