Reviews:
'This book offers all the people working in soccer (fitness coaches, coaches, managers and players) all the information they need to further investigate training techniques and select the best ones in relation to the technical and biological outcome for each player in the context of his specific position and his role within the team.
Therefore, I cannot but consider this work with the deepest interest, since it really aims at something real and fundamental, without falling into mere scientific semantics, which is definitely of critical importance
