American Sport Education Program: Coaching Football Technical and Tactical Skills

Więcej o książce

As a coach, witnessing athletes excel in practice yet struggle during games can be concerning. This resource emphasizes the situational decisions that players and coaches make, which often influence game outcomes. Developed by the American Sport Education Program (ASEP) alongside Rob Ash, head football coach at Drake University, it provides players with essential game-like experiences during practice by simulating key tactical situations such as scrambles, man-to-man and zone pass coverage, and onside kicks. Each skill is thoroughly described, complemented by nearly 150 photos to aid understanding and application of techniques in specific contexts. The book also offers quick tips for identifying and correcting errors, cues for athletes to recognize in various tactical scenarios, and crucial information for making informed decisions on the field. Skills are cross-referenced to illustrate their interconnections, facilitating efficient practice planning. Additionally, it includes eight detailed practice plans that incorporate game-like situations and a comprehensive season plan. Endorsed by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), this resource serves as a companion to ASEP's online course and is part of the Bronze Level coaching certification program, recognized by various educational and sports organizations for preparing coaches comprehensively.
