This DVD focuses on the basic techniques in soccer - the foundation of every player's performance. Correct identification of a player's technical ability is one of the most important skills a coach possesses. Faulty technique, if not diagnosed early in a player's development, will become so ingrained in a player that it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible to correct.

Coaches who use this program to develop their knowledge of technical training will be enormously helpful to the player's development and will enjoy the satisfaction of seeing their players improve.

Sections Include:

• Dribbling
• Passing
• Receiving
• Shooting
• Heading

Bonus Sections:

• Backyard Trainin
• Aly Wagner Interview

In the best selling soccer skills program 'All The Right Moves' we learned that the world's top players rely on running at top speed with and without the ball. In the modern game of soccer, as the level of competition increases so does the speed of the players. Running speed (Without the ball) must be developed with technical speed (Running with the ball) if players and teams are to exploit weaknesses in the opposition.
 
Soccer Speed will work you through progressive training including foot speed, leg speed, running technique, bursts of speed, first step quickness, acceleration, change of direction, quick reaction, coordination, agility and balance- all without the ball. The ball will then be added to create innovative training with match-like activities that are easily introduced into the practice sessions for the individual player and the team.

Soccer Speed will not make you the world's fastest player, but it will increase your physical and technical speed.

Confused by the numbers game? Help is here! Finally, a program that simplifies the mysteries of Systems of Play. This program has been developed to help the countless thousands of coaches who are unsure about the tactical deployment of players. Is the 4-4-2 or the 3-5-2 the best system? What about the 4-3-3? Or the 3-4-3? There is no such thing as a "best" system, but there is a system that is best for your team. No team uses a system that has never been seen before - most teams use variations of familiar themes - successful teams change and disguise their tactical positioning of players.

The program takes advantage of coach Waiters' considerable experience and his ability to simplify and de-mystify systems of play. 3-D graphics, game footage and a team in practice make it a visual learning experience and allows you to develop the best system for your team.

DVD Special Features:

• Printable checklists to help you to organize your team and establish a system of play*
• Set Plays coaching tips
• Goalkeeper coaching tips
• Scene Selection
• Crystal Clear Slo-mo and freeze frame
• Dolby AC-3 Digital Stereo

*Computer with DVD drive required to print checklists

In Soccer, the primary strategic objective is to score more goals than the opponent in the time allotted to play. Therefore, the primary strategy of the team in possession is to shoot. The primary strategies of the team not in possession are to prevent a goal and regain possession. This series explores tactical choices available to attackers, defenders and supporting players. Tactical behaviors are not based on any pre-arranged scheme. These decisions are based on what the opponent is doing. An attacking player sees a defender and looks for something that will achieve penetration which that defender will not be able to stop that instant. The defender must look at the game from the attackers point of view, determine what the attacker will do next and then tries to stop it. In tactical training emphasis is on helping the players to make more effective decisions and to make those decisions quickly enough so that they retain their effectiveness. The coach will focus his corrections on the players ability to see and interpret the visual cues on which these decisions are based.
