## Description

The #1 international bestseller... Named the #1 Soccer Book by Football.com... Named a Top 5 Book of the Year by the NSCAA Soccer Journal. Soccer iQ is the first book for soccer PLAYERS! "If we could recommend only one book for players, parents and coaches, Soccer iQ would be that book." ~Football.com "If you have a child involved with soccer, Soccer iQ is a must-read." ~ModernDadTopics.com "An excellent World Cup companion" ~Scott Arnold "Exceptional book for all ages!" ~Coach Mark "This book helped us win the Missouri State Championship." ~Coach Ryan In a world saturated with books about how to coach soccer, Dan Blank finally gives players a book on how to think it. Standing on two decades of collegiate coaching experience, Blank has catalogued soccer’s most common mistakes and provides simple, connect-the-dots solutions to help players solve their soccer problems. Soccer IQ is soccer’s first text book for players; an almanac of smarter soccer decisions intended to flatten out the learning curve. It covers everything from hunting rebounds to the value of the toe-ball; from playing in the rain to the world’s dumbest foul. Blank tells his story from the familiar and humorous voice of a coach who has endured years of stress at the hands of his players. Written in plain-spoken language, Soccer IQ is an easy read and a quick-fix to the most common yet critically important soccer problems. Includes a bonus chapter on the college recruiting process. If you dream of being the next Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, the next Alex Morgan or Sophia Smith, of playing for Manchester United or Real Madrid, of playing in the MLS, the Premier League or for a World Cup - then Soccer iQ is the book for you. “Finally someone wrote this book! If every soccer player read Soccer IQ, every coach would be a lot happier.” Mark Francis – Head Coach University of Kansas “Dan Blank has just written soccer’s first definitive text book.” Colin Carmichael – Head Coach Oklahoma State University “This book has immediately become required reading for my team. I’ll take 30 copies.” Steve Nugent – Head Coach UNC-Greensboro “Soccer IQ may the best practical soccer book I have ever read. There’s no fluff. Just nuts and bolts principles that we teach every day. It’ll solve a lot of your soccer problems.” Steve Holeman – Head Coach University of Georgia

Review: A Family Staple - As a father of three young soccer players aged 8 to 11, I can’t recommend Soccer IQ Volumes 1 & 2 enough! These book as well as its audiobooks have become a staple in our household, and we’ve read and listened to them multiple times. Each chapter is short, engaging, and packed with practical insights that have truly transformed how my kids approach the game. The lessons in these books aren’t just theoretical; I’ve witnessed my children applying them on the field. From understanding positioning to making smarter decisions during play, the impact is clear. The author, Dan Blank, offers invaluable tips in a straightforward manner that resonates with young players. It's refreshing to find a resource that speaks directly to them, making it accessible and fun. Whether you’re a parent, coach, or player, Soccer IQ is an essential read. It’s not just about practice; it’s about cultivating a smart approach to the game that will serve them well for years to come. Thank you, Dan Blank, for creating such a fantastic resource!
Review: Easy to pick up and apply to your game RIGHT NOW. - Enough good things cannot be said about this book. I got it for helping me to coach as well as to see if it would improve my own play. I was able to immediately apply the information from this book after only reading a few pages the first day. There is so much good stuff in here, you have to be careful to pace yourself since you won't remember it all, and you certainly can't coach that many points in a practice or two. As the book suggests, I coached about one new point per practice. I could see immediate improvements in the game of my U14 rec girls. Some of it may be a repeat of what you have already learned, but presented in a way that you can teach it better. As for my own play, I'm in my late 30s and have played soccer for 20 years, but didn't get to a high competitive level and did not have good coaching during my formative years. I learned how to play my own game better as I coached my girls and I had to figure out how to improve their game. This book helped me become a better player in addition to a better coach, and I remember the first game where I applied a couple of the points in this book, and I was complimented for how well I played that day. I didn't play any harder, but I definitely played smarter, and that's even more helpful when you're my age trying to keep up players 10 and 15 years your junior.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Good Book for Older kids
*by J***8 on January 26, 2018*

This is written in a very casual tone, as if the author is speaking to you at a practice. It has some good points for those coaching older kids, but if you are looking for a book to help coach younger kids, this is not it, as it does not focus on technical training. It doesn't focus on any topic or set of related topics but, instead, covers a wide range of topics, with about a page or page and a half devoted to each topic.
