Coerver Coaching: A New Era

Most soccer instructional videos seem to be aimed at kids who are just starting to learn the game; now, finally, we have a series for the advanced player who wants to hone his/her skills. Wiel Coerver, a legend in the soccer coaching world, provides a video version of his master class for advanced players and coaches. A New Era picks up where the Coerver Coaching Method series left off, with the viewer receiving advanced soccer coaching and training philosophy distilled from decades of coaching experience and insight. Emphasis is given to training the individual amateur player to understand and emulate the critical skills that enable the master soccer player to prevail within the professional realm. The video style and composition are artfully organized to simultaneously instruct, motivate and inspire players and coaches by utilizing highlight clips from professional soccer matches to dramatically drive home the value and method of each concept. The tapes and 112 page companion book also provide detailed drills designed to inculcate each skill. However, the major value of this series lies in introducing viewers to a powerful and effective coaching and training philosophy that, once grasped, will allow the inspired coach and player to design and adapt their own successful training program. Highly recommended (says me, and my husband, Mark Stevens, who has been coaching and playing soccer--including NCAA--for 25 years). Editor's Choice. Aud: J, H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
