Publisher's Synopsis
The Cognitive Soccer Instructors Course is a cutting edge five book series that will make you completely re-think the way soccer is coached. I have spent the last few years researching, applying and refining the methods. The instructors course is designed to take you outside box, giving you a direct look into how an athlete's brain processes information, problem solves, adapts and most efficiently learns. Neuroscience and Neuropsychology provide us all the proof we need to see that becoming a great athlete is more about developing the brain then the body. This is one of the rare series of books that focuses on the brain and not the body to improve soccer ability. Whether you are a complete novice coach or in the professional ranks, the information in the course will motivate, excite and stimulate your coaching mind. It covers in detail the science behind cognitive soccer development along with providing a comprehensive soccer curriculum that puts the cognitive theory into soccer specific exercises you can use immediately with your team. You will learn to teach the game in a way that the brain is naturally meant to learn, called "Brain Structured Learning". It will quickly become apparent that cognitive soccer development will encompass much more than just soccer, it involves living a cognitive healthy lifestyle that will benefit players well beyond the soccer field. This book is the first in a series of five that make up all the manuals for the "Cognitive Soccer Instructors Diploma Course".
