When he started playing soccer, his only "strategy" was to get the ball, outrun everyone else to the other end of the field, and score. At first it served him well, but as he advanced through the sport, he learned that it takes much more than speed to make a winning team.

A mazy dribble through the recent history of European soccer, showing how shifting styles and influence have shaped the game. In the early 1990s, the Dutch footballing philosophy was worshiped across the continent. Then the baton passed to the Italians, who clearly boasted Europe's strongest league. But when France started winning everything at international level its national academy became the template for others, until suddenly, almost out of nowhere, Europe's most revered player and manager both hailed from Portugal.

Publisher's summary
Ever wonder what all the positions are?
Think you know every position and that an audiobook on positioning is unnecessary for you?
Ever hear of a False Nine, a Wing Back, or what position that referred confused an Inverted Winger to?
Have you ever wanted to learn the abilities needed by each player on the pitch including the position you play in now or potentially want to play in the future?
Are you a parent that is a bit confused by the differences of each spot on the field that your child plays?
Well, if any of these situations describe you, you are not alone. Coaches of soccer are decent at assigning positions such as goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, and forward in addition to whether that player should be on the left side, right side, or center of the field. Sadly, coaches do not often teach the more advanced positions and what each player in that role must do. It is all well and good if your team is consistently winning and outperforming the other team. However, if your team is not always winning by a few goals, the positioning could be upgraded to effectively use the skills of each player on the team.
Outcomes of learning the positions explained:
- Understand some of the history on how positions came to be in the modern game.
- Learn the specialties of each role to determine your best fit on the field.
- Find the tactical position to take your team to the next level.
Why does learning these things matter?
Well, building your knowledge grows your confidence. Self-esteem is key for any soccer player, coach, or parent and building the belief in yourself and your child will allow them to play to the level you know they can.
You may think those are all well and great, but “how can an audiobook really deliver on increasing the positioning of yourself, son, daughter, or team?” “Why not just watch a YouTube video to see it too?”
Excitingly, this audiobook lays out step-by-step what you should work on and the most important keys to being able to perform in each position. Yes, other author’s may glance over the different types of players but never describe and explain the exact role based on each team’s needs.
Also, though YouTube can be used to compliment an audiobook because videos show visual representations of the positions covered, each video is often unorganized and the order in which you watch the videos is not structured at all. This audiobook provides that structure to ensure that you are not just getting a little information in one spot and some knowledge in another without being able to understand the entire positional picture of how each part works together.
It is time for your knowledge of Soccer Positions to go to the next level. Become the player, coach, or parent that changes every game from here on out.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Wow! So Many Positions That I Didn't Know Existed.
It is cool how Dylan Joseph shows how some coaches are missing out on using all the positions. Also, it explains each of the positions and their needs and tips for each position! Also, I paired this with his Soccer Coaching book to understand all the formations that these positions can be found in! I can't wait to listen to this book again!

Must read if you want to be a great soccer player
I really like the pyramid concept shown in the book it really makes it easier to understand the positions and their roles. Like the sweeper who will wear a number 4 and the skills he has to develop to be efficient at this position. There is great information about the progression path to be a better soccer player. I’m looking forward to listen to the other series from this author to see what else I can learn.
