Excerpt: William "Billy" Ronson (born 22 January, 1957 in Fleetwood, Lancashire) is a retired English footballer who spent twelve seasons in the English leagues, one in the North American Soccer League, six in the Major Indoor Soccer League and another seven years in a variety of lower division indoor and outdoor leagues in the United States. He also coached at the collegiate and professional levels. Ronson, the son of Fleetwood stalwart Percy Ronson, began his career at Blackpool, making his debut in March 1975 against Nottingham Forest. He originally struggled to break into the side but eventually managed to establish himself in the first team. In 1978, he went on loan to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League. He was unable to prevent the club's relegation during the 197778 season and spent one more year at the club before joining Cardiff City for a fee of £130,000, a club record at the time. He missed very few games in his two years at Ninian Park before growing disenchanted with the club's lack of progress and leaving to join Wrexham. His only season at Wrexham ended in relegation, and he left to join Barnsley. He became popular at the Yorkshire clu...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=16697924 ... Read more

Chapters: Edmonton Drillers. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 112. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: On August 23rd, 1996, at a hastily arranged press conference at Telus Field it was announced that Peter Pocklington has purchased the Chicago Power of the National Professional Soccer League and was moving them to Edmonton for the rapidly approaching 96/97 season. The team was to play out of the Edmonton Coliseum and play under the name "Drillers" which had been used by the NASL entry in Edmonton many years earlier, that was also owned by Pocklington. The acquisition was to produce further synergies between Pocklington's other sports holdings in Edmonton. Pocklington has recently negotiated control of the Coliseum, and was looking to fill dates in the building whose main tenant was his NHL team, the Edmonton Oilers. The Drillers shared office space with the Oilers, and as the NPSL season nicely juxtaposed with the baseball season it allowed for significant crossover of office staff between the Drillers and Pocklingtons Pacific Coast League team the Edmonton Trappers. Another more vindictive motivation for bringing in the indoor soccer side was to make life more difficult for the expansion Western Hockey League team, the Edmonton Ice. Pocklington had wanted a WHL franchise in Edmonton for himself, but was never granted one. So when Ed Chynoweth stepped down as WHL commissioner and was promptly granted a franchise in Edmonton, needless to say it rubbed Pocklington the wrong way. As a result, the Ice were not allowed to play at the Pocklington controlled Coliseum, and were instead left to play their games at the somewhat less fan friendly Northlands Agricom. On top of that it was standard practice to schedule Driller games head-to-head with Ice games, and distribute large quantities o...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=11993840 ... Read more

A "must-have" for any gym teacher
Coaching Soccer: 6 To 10 Year Olds by experienced soccer coach Giuliano Rusca is a useful and "user friendly" guide to building motor and teamwork skills in young people. Yet the involving text quickly gives way to pages and pages of soccer play diagrams, sample drills for lessons, and tables to record athlete's performance. Simply put, Coaching Soccer is a "must-have" for any gym teacher, team coach or volunteer parent charged with the responsibility of teaching this increasingly popular team sport to young people.

Less Than Average Goalie Resource!
This is less than average and does not give any great ideas.
Beginners may like it but the structure of the book is weak.


Soccer Coaching:34 Soccer Goalie Drills
This reviewer liked this other popular soccer product on Amazon.

Soccer Coaching:Schupak's Soccer 6 Pack DVD Set
This soccer DVD set is also popular on Amazon for soccer coaches and soccer moms & dads.

Excellent book
As a professional goalkeeper coach, I highly recommend this book. It will help you to become a better coach. If you are a parent of a goalkeeper, buy this book for your kid's head coach. We need to take our goalkeepers serious, and this book explains why.
If you look for lots of fun advanced drills, I recommend the DVD from the same author. ... Read more

Product Description
Over the past 30 years soccer has degenerated from a sport of grace and beauty into one of Dollar politics. The showcase of this degeneracy was the '94 World Cup held in the United States. This book not only analyses the shameless showcase of soccer degeneracy but is a stand against the existing corruption wthin F.I.F.A. as well as a cry for help for all true fans to not tolerate it any longer.

Never before has a book like 'The Cup of Death' been written, detailing the corruption behind the most corrupt event in the history of soccer. 'The Cup of Death' is a unique look at the '94 World Cup. It offers insight into the true mechanisms which govern F.I.F.A. and what it is that truly determines who qualifies for the tournament as well as who wins it.

'The Cup of Death' goes beyond merely recounting the events which took place during the farce known as the '94 World Cup and examines the corruption of the tournament and its causes as well as documenting the acts of corruption themselves.

The book is a voice of protest in defense of soccer and all true lovers of the game. It is meant as a voice of truth for those already in love with the game as well as a guide to soccer's true beauty for those not yet acquainted with it. Writte not only from facts but from the heart as well, 'The Cup of Death' is a first of its kind book found nowhere else. ... Read more

waste of money
Absolutely horrible book.The author constantly makes up so called facts and every other sentence is "the US and western Europe are very bad".I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the sometimes childish arguments the author was trying to make.Claims of Maturana and Milutinovic discussing how to fix their game, child labor in the US and the extraordinary play of Eastern Europe as opposed to the rest of this cruel world are some highlights of how comical this book is.

Pure Trash!!!!
If you are hoping for a well researched study of the 1994 World Cup, this is not it.Just a bunch anti-capitalist and anti-FIFA opinions with no background information to confirm it, and no footnotes.I don't even think the author attended the '94 World Cup by some of the statements he made. ...

A "MUST HAVE" for College Players
Any player looking to play at the next level should definitely read, learn, & apply the concepts outlined in this book.Former professional player/current coach Steve Mastrogianis and his wife, sports pyschologist Laurie Mastrogianis, bring all concepts together necessary for a complete game.After thoroughly understanding the material you will realize the ultimate soccer players combine their physical, mental, & spiritual talents.This book is surely ahead of its time.I do NOT recommend it for a casual recreational player...only for serious players who want to reach their potential. ...

Product Description
The recent clarification of the offside rule is equivalent to a rule change. This book explains it. Budding Soccer Stars is written to share a passion for a game played all round the world. The author has cut his teeth in recreational and competitive leagues. He is a team captain and an accredited referee. The teeth are close to the candy. Any player, six to thirteen years old, wanting to catch up with latest developments or wanting to understand the position the coach has put her/him in, will find something here. There is more too, including a peek at international competition for future stars; but there will be little for a player that does not have fun, like we have had in playing and in writing this book for you. ...

Product Description
For so many years, I have watched the way soccer is being played in the States. I though the game should be played with more fines, intensity and creativity. I also wished more goals were scored because the soccer net is very wide compared to most other sports. The other concern of mine is the way soccer is being promoted or lack of promotion of the game in the States. Lack of goals or low scores in the game is another source of concern. These ideas have being with me for most of the time and I finally summed the courage to take up my pen and write this book "SOCCER SOLUTIONS: Generating more Goals and Winning the Big Games". I hope this book will help improve the management of soccer, coaching of the game, playing and the promotion of this "beauty game" according to fabulous PELE, the greatest person that ever played this game. Above all, I want to see more goals scored at the games because it will generate more interest among soccer fans and convert casual fans into true fans. I could not understand why a net as wide as in soccer is invisible to the attacking teams. I hope this book will make the net more visible and results in scoring of more goals. It should be noted, however, that this book is not replacing the good works of coaches but a supplement of the great jobs done by them. My philosophy about the game revolves around more shooting of the ball more within the 18 yards line and scoring of more goals. You need to the shoot ball in order to score goals and there is no scoring without shooting and no winning without goals. ... Read more
