The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Soccer Basics by Sam Borden
It is suited for the beginner in the soccer community or someone who wants to brush up on the fundamentals of the beautiful game. It is easy to follow and offers clear language and avoids complex terminology or jargon. Almost every topic is covered, ranging from equipment to drills to rules and etiquette.
The book is divided into four manageable parts. Those four parts make up 18 chapters and the book ends with two usable appendixes.
The book begins with a solid introduction that gives a personal approach to what some may call an instruction manual. It is clear that the author, Sam Borden, has a strong knowledge base to go along with an even stronger passion for the game.
It is an affordable text that will help parents, coaches, and players make important decisions. You can be confident that the information is reliable and that the author knows the content.
