Book Description
This is the only book that contains information on analysis of women's soccer players' running and cutting actions and how they can most effectively be improved. No other book has the sequential pictures depicting how running and cutting are executed, nor exercises that duplicate the joint actions. The book introduces the concept of specificity of exercise and how the strength, flexibility, and explosive exercises duplicate exactly what happens in running and cutting actions. Also unique to the book is information on how you can improve running and cutting through the use of specialised strength and flexibility exercises. The exercises make it possible to make corrections in technique so that the player can improve her performance very quickly. This is the only book that couples technique and strength training together to produce immediate and most effective results.
