A FRONT ROW SEAT AT THE AJAX TRAINING GROUND!! Jorrit Smink, Dutch journalist and himself a soccer coach, had the chance to report on world famous club Ajax Amsterdam for a full season. This book is a collection of 40 drills used by coaches at the various levels at Ajax, including head coach of the first team and legendary Dutch superstar, Ronald Koeman. Topics covered Warm Up Drills, Conditioning Drills, Shooting Drills, Goalkeeping Drills, Positional Play Drills, and more.
Good, short book. A journalist/soccer coach spends a season observing the Dutch powerhouse team Ajax, and this book is a record of what he saw at their training sessions. Some great technical exercises, and good, brief explanations and diagrams throughout. This book has next to nothing when it comes to tactical explanation, but it does give some great drills that are perfect environments for teaching soccer tactics.
