In Soccer), perhaps more than any other sport, success hinges on team performance rather than individual play. As coaches are well aware, inspiring a group of players to perform as a finely tuned, coordinated unit is an ongoing challenge.
I have owned One Goal for a year now and it is still on my bedside table. Why? Because I must read it every single week! The book is like a personal guide to the in’s and out’s of the psychological side of soccer. It’s educational and practical with a step-by-step plan to implementing a winning mindset. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough for coaches at all levels of the game.

One Goal is an incredible book. I intend to keep it by my bedside for many months to come. I turn to it often when planning coaching sessions, prior to matches and even when dealing with people in my business and personal life. The book offers so much to coaches and you will not be disappointed. It will open your mind.
