They are the only thing that we can predict will happen in every game yet most coaches do not spend much time on them in practice and consequently miss game-changing opportunities.

Using game film to demonstrate numerous scenarios, Marcus Wood takes several different situations and presents a plan of attack and a defense you can use in those situations.

  • Attacking and Defensive Corner Kicks – Identify the possible runs you can make and how to best frame and attack the goal on a corner kick. Wood provides strategies for positioning your bigs and littles, how to play to your players’ strengths, and what you can do to improve your chances to make a play on a second ball – both offensively and defensively.
  • Direct and In-Direct Kicks – Coach Wood explains the basic concept to attack a free kick using the concept of “heels on toes.”
  • Throw-Ins – Coach Wood illustrates possible runs as you are the attacking team taking a throw-in.
  • Goalkeeping – See how to stay compact as well as stay spread for any options toward or from the keeper.

Soccer is such a free flowing game that when you can practice something that you know will happen in the game you will increase your chances of success.
