Weight Training for Soccer? The only place you'll see the word Soccer is on the front cover. The exercises descriptions also need some heavy editing and some of the black and white photos are hard to make out. Misleading.

I haven't read every word in this book, but I was disappointed in its lack of soccer specificity (though it claims to be so). I wonder how much of it is identical to the other 30 "Ultimate Guide..." books the publisher publishes. I'm not saying the book isn't a good weight training book, or that I won't benefit by it, it just appears they may be marketing the same content under several titles, making you "think" it was written specifically for the sport. For instance, there is no indication that the author of this one, Robert Price, ever played soccer! I was expecting sections like, "To improve your kicking," or "stretching exercises for goalies," or "strengthening muscles for twisting/turning," etc.

This book is great for any soccer player! I recommend it to anyone who wants to increase agility and stamina. This book has improved my game through its various exercises and weight lifting techniques. I highly recommend it to any soccer player at any level. A great buy!!!
