Soccer Training: Developing the 360 Degree Player ─ Coaching the Ability to Use Both Feet in Every Direction

The techniques outlined in this book will show players and coaches how players can become proficient with both feet. Because most players rely almost exclusively on their dominant foot, their repertoire of solutions is obviously limited. Unfortunately, in most cases players are presented with training sessions that cater to their dominant side and their coaches rarely, if ever, train or even encourage the use of the weaker foot. In this book, Martin Bidzinski presents a training method that focuses on developing physically balanced players who are comfortable playing the ball with either foot to any direction of play, thus giving them the full 360o range of playing options. Each exercise is illustrated and explained with coaching points.

Martin Bidzinski is a well-known soccer coach specializing in skills development of young players. He has authored two other books and produced 6 DVD on soccer coaching. His previous books include The Soccer Coaching Handbook and Smart First Touches. He currently resides in Blackburn, Lancashire in England.
