Have you ever wondered why so many great goal scoring opportunities are not converted into goals? In The Last 9 Seconds, John DeBenedictis provides soccer coaches with solutions to this problem tackling it from a psychological perspective. How can a soccer player who can kick, pass, shoot, or head a ball correctly, often miss a golden opportunity? This book stresses how to coach the soccer players on an in depth individual basis on how to prepare to score, which usually takes 9 seconds, or less. The Last 9 Seconds is a reference book for coaches to use when their team or players are having problems scoring goals. DeBenedictis writes with passion on the topic of scoring goals. Having played as a goalkeeper he knew exactly what it took to score on him. He has studied this aspect of the game in great detail and has also included new ideas on player development and how young players learn. He truly deciphers the art and science of scoring goals. "It is an entertaining read. It is an easy read. The book just works on so many levels. This book is highly recommended." - Jay Martin, NSCAA Soccer Journal, Sept/Oct 2013
