Warm Ups for Soccer: A Dynamic Approach In this long overdue book, Critchell addresses the issue of stretching and warm up practices for soccer. The main focus of the book is to discourage the use of static stretching and instead offer a variety of dynamic exercises which more closely resemble the movements made in the game, giving the players the preparation they need either pre-game or pre-practice.
Customer Review: Good informattion
I like the concepts and philosophies in this book. It has a nice progression as well.
It is a little dry … but it is soccer warm ups … how exciting can it be.
Very informative. If you are looking for a better way to get your kids ready before a game or practice, I encourage you to pick up this book.
Customer Review: Very Handy Guide
The book starts with dynamic stretch illustrations which are good. The illustrations of stretches are usually 1 photo and explanations that are complete and the sessions are drawn as A’s and B’s. They are broken down into groups of stretches like the basics, then combinations, patters with fast feet and then to actually exercises. Mick then has Stage Two as an improved running section with easy and pratical exercises. Stage Three he gives 60 specific warms ups covering basics to space and shooting. Almost all sessions are using a ball. I titled it has a “handy guide” as I use it to get things out and develop my own or grab one of Mick’s and go!
