The Art of Finishing in Soccer: Soccer Finishing Drills and Secrets to Take Your Game to the Next Level

'You speak bad of me, I score goals, '

This was a famous line of soccer Italian bad boy, Mario Balotelli.

There's two minutes to go. The scores are level. We must win. The chance falls, the goal is scored. Is there a greater thrill in the whole of sport? It doesn't matter whether we have just won the World Cup, avoided relegation, advanced to the next round of the local pub trophy or our Under Twelves have secured their first win of the season.

Scoring goals is what soccer is a about. The finisher is the most prized asset of any team. Clinical finishing is a skill every single outfield player needs. That ability to put the ball in the net. To sieze the chance. To score.

Chest Dugger's book will help us to impove our finishing as players, and provide us with enjoyable, practical, simple and effective drills as coaches. Ones we can take straight from the page, or adapt to our own team's needs. It will focus on the mental coolness needed to keep adrenalin under control as the goal beckons. It will look at the essentials - shooting, being comfortable with both feet and heading. It will examine dribbling skills and one on one finishes against the keeper. It will look at set pieces.

This book is based not just on Chest Dugger's experience as a former pro, with years of coaching behind him. It will also look at statistical evidence, using this to offer helpful tips for set pieces. Corners, inswinger or outswinger? Free kicks - shoot or cross? And penalties. It will explain the best spot in which to place a penalty, the best power with which to hit the shot, the best way to stay cool as the temperature rises inside a striker's head.

Plus, the book never forgets that soccer is fun. There are chapters on special finishes, on volleys, scissor kicks and overhead kicks. The sort of finishes that come along only rarely, but once made are never forgotten.

For players, coaches and those of us who are simply massive fans of the game, and want to understand it better, Soccer Finishing Book will offer us strategies, tactics, techniques and drills to enhance our love of this beautiful game, and make us better proponents of it. It will give us extra insight and skill at the most important aspect of soccer. Putting the ball into the back of the net.

And many more....
