Small Time: A Life in the Football Wilderness by Justin Bryant


In 1988, 23-year-old American goalkeeper Justin Bryant thought a glorious career in professional football awaited him. He had just saved two penalties for
his American club - the Orlando Lions - against Scotland's Dunfermline Athletic, to help claim the first piece of silverware in their history. He was young,
strong, healthy, and confident.
Small Time is the story of a life spent mostly in the backwaters of the game. As Justin negotiated the Non-League pitches of the Vauxhall-Opel League, and
the many failed professional leagues of the U.S. in the 1980s and 90s - Football, he learned, is 95% blood, sweat, and tears; but if you love it enough, the
other 5% makes up for it.

Soccer Brain: The 4C Coaching Model for Developing World Class Player Mindsets and a Winning Football Team by Dan
Abrahams
Coaching soccer is demanding. Impossible to perfect, it requires a broad knowledge of many performance areas including technique, tactics, psychology
and the social aspects of human development. The first two components are covered in detail in many texts but Soccer Brain uniquely offers a
comprehensive guide to developing the latter two player mindsets and winning teams.
Soccer Brain is for the no limits coach. Its for the coach who is passionate about developing players and building a winning team. This is not a traditional
soccer coaching book filled with drills or tactics or playing patterns. This book is about getting the very best from you, the coach, and helping you develop a
coaching culture of excellence and world class football mindsets.

The Way Forward: Solutions to England's Football Failings


by Matthew Whitehouse
English football is in a state of crisis. It has been almost 50 years since England made the final of a major championship and the national sides, at all levels,
continue to disappoint and underperform. Yet no-one appears to know how to improve the situation.
In his acclaimed book, The Way Forward, football coach Matthew Whitehouse examines the causes of English footballs decline and offers a number of
areas where change and improvement need to be implemented immediately. With a keen focus and passion for youth development and improved coaching
he explains that no single fix can overcome current difficulties and that a multi-pronged strategy is needed. If we wish to improve the standards of players
in England then we must address the issues in schools, the grassroots, and academies, as well as looking at the constraints of the Premier League and
English FA.
