5.0 out of 5 stars Michels Worthy of Title - "FIFA's Coach of The Century" Feb 2 2004
By Michael J. Alward
Format:Paperback
Rinus Michel's book, together with Bert Van Lingen's book "Coaching Soccer" provide the framework of the "Dutch Vision" of how to coach soccer (football or voetball) - and the Dutch have had more than their fair share of success producing outstanding players since the 1970's.

This book is a fantastic resource for soccer coaches at any level, or any person tasked with administering a youth soccer program. Michels explains the vital importance of small-sided (4v4) games in teaching young players how to play soccer, establishes objectives for the technical development of young players by age group, discussed systems of play.

This is my "top-rated', "must read" book for any serious soccer coach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Michels Worthy of Title - "FIFA's Coach of The Century" Feb 2 2004
By Michael J. Alward - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Rinus Michel's book, together with Bert Van Lingen's book "Coaching Soccer" provide the framework of the "Dutch Vision" of how to coach soccer. This book is a fantastic resource for any soccer coach at any level, any convenor at the youth soccer level, or any person tasked with administering a soccer program.

Michels explains the vital importance of small-sided (4v4) games in teaching young players how to play soccer, establishes objectives for the technical development of young players by age group, discussed systems of play, and gives real-life examples of how to manage the dynamics of professional and international teams.

This may well be the most important soccer book ever written.

4.0 out of 5 stars Indepth look at "Total Soccer" Jun 15 2008
By Ronaldo A. Carballo - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
What can be said about Rinus Michels that hasn't already been said about the creator of 'Total Soccer'. Having said that I can only give this book four stars due to Mr. Michels' ramblings sometimes. Yes, it is a somewhat difficult book to read. My advice is to get you a notepad and pen to write down the many golden gems found in this book.

Half-way through the book I realized that I was reading the thoughts of a genius. Section after section I found the answers to some of my questions I had regarding the tactics, training, and methods of professional teams (some applicable up to the U12 level.) I have no doubts that the reader's coaching methods will be positively affected due to the knowledge that Mr. Michels shares in this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Coach - Average Book Aug 4 2006
By David Gustafsson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is certainly not a "page-turner" and sometimes I barely wanted to open it, just looking forward to a more interesting coaching book.

Rinus Michels was probabaly a very good coach and had great success with the Dutch national team as a coach during 70s (reached WC FInal 1978 in Argentine) and 80s and obviously has had a great impact on the evolution of Dutch soccer including sucessfull wotk with the Dutch FA and Dutch Youth soccer.

He mentions a lot of interesting things that can be worth taking into account about how the Dutch youth setup is working and what things are important to know about youth soccer in general. I.e At what age you should do that and don't do that

But this book hardly contains any really good exercices to improve your teambuilding. There are only a few exercises in the book and no pictures or diagrams to help you really understand what the exercises is all about. Overall, teambuilding is a broad topic but I felt I would have gained more experience and insight in teambuilding reading this book.

It should also be known that this book mostly cover dutch soccer and that sometimes can be a bit frustrating. For a genuine soccer fan you would have anticipated that he would have learned a lot from his time as a coach of FC Barcelona but barely mention that spell of his life in "Teambuilding". But I suppose he writes about what he knows best.

I don't want to say that you sholdn't read this book because there is always something that you learn with a soccer coaching book that you can apply in soccer on a daily basis. There are always things to pick up but there are for sure better books out there if you want to be a better soccer coach.
