Football Coaching: Putting the Theory into Practice is an essential guide for any student who is studying not just an undergraduate or postgraduate football coaching degree but any degree that has a focus on coaching. In addition to this, it is also a vital resource for any football coach, especially those working through their UEFA coaching qualifications. Football coaches constantly ask how academic research should inform applied coaching practice and in turn how coaches should apply academic research into their professional activities. This book presents answers to these questions by discussing the key academic research that is integral to coaching practice. It will also provide actual specific examples that demonstrate how these theories can be applied within the coaching environment and more specifically within the coaching practice of a football coach. It is written by contributors, with expertise as academics within higher education, whilst also having years of experience working at the highest level within the industry. Football Coaching: Putting the Theory into Practice is key reading for all students on any coaching degree, especially those studying football coaching, as well as benefitting any football coach and coaches from other sports, specifically coaches from sports that are classified as invasion games.
