I have been a football coach for 5 years as my son got involved at an early age and I am always looking for ways to improve the team. So I can definitely recommend this book based on chapters 6 and 7 which has the fundamentals and advanced drills for defense and offence respectively. The book teaches you how to get the best out of the skillsets of the players you have at your disposal. I like how the book doesn't just focus on the training ground but there is a chapter on what to do on game day. Focus and execution are everything in this game and this is a recurring theme. Diet and nutrition are covered and the importance of hydration. The narration is excellent and it sounds like the author really knows his stuff

CR Edwards has written a great book and it is expertly narrated by Mel Hughes. The narration is so good because we were taking lots of notes during our listening to the book and had to rewind or pause the audio very infrequently to make the notes and comprehend what was being said.

As parents of 3 boys we have coached them in every sport. One of them now says he want to try football. So......we searched for a book that would help us help them learn the game and coach them to success.

This book has it all and frankly some great tips for coaching youth sports other football.

However , the fundamentals Mr. Edwards gives to teach the team are great. His 5P's concept is really spot on. But the thing that stuck out most to us was the daily practice plans. Too many coaches have practice and do very little planning. His concept of practice planning and the plans themselves really set this book apart.

This is a great coaching book and we hightly recommend it.
