Soccer Skills for Young Players by Ted Buxton was such an amazing book it shows you about all the skills that you should learn if you want to become a soccer player the book is about a coach that uses those things to train their soccer players. I recomend this book to any one that likes or wants to learn soccer.

It tells you a lot of soccer skills and ways to be a good soccer player so I think it would be good for soccer players that are new to soccer. However, this book wasn't that helpful for me.
