Soccer is the beautiful game, as widely recognized around the
world. January 2014 statistics show that over 50 million youth play
soccer worldwide. Early training of soccer means a lifetime of love
of the sport. The enjoyment of soccer transcends mere involvement
as a player, coach, fan, sponsor, dad, or mom. There are subtle
lessons of life to be learned from soccer as a team sport. One
aspect that is often ignored is the potential to use soccer to
teach basic math and science principles, which are essential for
later career paths in the technical fields. It is this void that
prompted me to write this book as a way to leverage soccer training
to spark the interest of kids and adults in the applications of
math and science. ?Youth Soccer Training Slides: A Math and Science
Approach? is a sequel following my first soccer book of 2010
entitled ?Physics of Soccer: Using Math and Science to Improve Your
Game.? That first book was published to coincide with the 2010 FIFA
World Cup Tournament Soccer in South Africa. This second book is
written to coincide with the 2014 FIFA World Cup Soccer Tournament
in Brazil.
Although this book targets youth soccer training, it is quite
suitable and recommended for adult soccer training as well. The
technical principles are general enough to apply to all levels of
soccer training. The presentation slides format of the book makes
it amenable for pick-and-choose applications of specific training
topics.
In his 2014 book, the Great Pele of Brazil emphasizes ?Why
Soccer Matters.? In the opinion of this author, soccer, indeed,
matters not only because of its socio-economic impacts around the
world, but also because of the various other benefits it offers.
Soccer matters because it is a thinking game and the ultimate team
sport. The theme and premise offered by Youth Soccer Training
Slides cover various math and science topics to enhance the
understanding and enjoyment of the game.
