Jim Sheldon
NSCAA Executive Director

There are very few publications dedicated solely to soccer coaching education. There are even fewer – in fact none that we are aware of in the U.S. – that specialize in education for the elite-level coach.

That is why all of us at the National Soccer Coaches Association of America are excited about World Class Coaching. Nowhere else will you find articles by the world’s leading clubs and coaches targeted strictly to others who are coaching at the top levels.

We encourage you to subscribe today to World Class Coaching. We think it will be well worth the modest investment. And, if you are an NSCAA member, you will benefit even more. You will receive a free complimentary issue (14-month subscription) to World Class Coaching. This amounts to more than a 16% savings on a normal 12-month subscription.

So, just give your NSCAA membership number when calling to subscribe or filling out a subscription form. If you are not an NSCAA member, feel free to contact us at 1-800-458-0678 for information about membership, including a subscription to Soccer Journal, another valuable coaching aid.

Enjoy World Class Coaching and best of luck on the field.

Bob Warming
Head Coach
Saint Louis University

I simply wanted to let you know that you are providing something great for the American coaching community. World Class Coaching is the best! I look forward to each issue to see what my colleagues in the coaching ranks are doing.

When I was first getting into collegiate coaching twenty some years ago, Hubert Vogelsinger told me something that I believe to this day: "If your goal is to be a great coach, you must be a thief. You must be willing to read about, watch, and listen to other great coaches and steal their ideas. Adapt the things you have stolen to your style and you will be on your way." I have followed Hubert’s advice these many years and have always been thankful to him for this valuable lesson. You are helping our coaching community by being a great "fence" for the thoughts, exercises, and tactics of the best coaches in the world.

It is when we think we have all the answers that we quit growing and learning. When that happens, it’s time to quit. Your magazine provides constant stimulation of different ideas. Keep up the good work. I’m sure that the Saint Louis University team will be using some of the ideas I steal from your magazine.

Assistant Coach
Columbus Crew

I want to pass on my congratulations to you for the great job you have done with World Class Coaching. The magazine is full of useful training and practice information from some of the finest teams and coaches in the world. At a recent coaching clinic of over 250 coaches, I was asked to recommend a book that every coach should have. I recommended World Class Coaching!

All the best as you continue to provide us with up to date pertinent information.

Bobby Howe
Director of Coaching
U.S. Soccer

U.S. Soccer and its coaching department is a great believer in the continuing education of our coaches. Soccer is a sport that is constantly evolving. Tactics change, new ideas are tried, teams constantly alter their playing formations, etc. That is why our licensing system necessitates coaches attending coaching courses, seminars, symposiums and the many weekend ‘Continuing Education Clinics’ conducted by the coaching department of U.S. Soccer.

As part of a coaches ongoing learning process we also encourage them to read about, watch, and learn from other great coaches all over the world and adapt the things they learn to their own style and methods.

WORLD CLASS COACHING is one of the few publications in the world that publishes the practices and training sessions of the world’s top teams and coaches. Aimed at the more serious coach it is full of easy-to-follow diagrams and will provide you with endless new material that you can incorporate into your own practices.

The coaching department at U.S. Soccer is very impressed with the content of WORLD CLASS COACHING and looks forward to receiving all future issues. We heartily recommend it as source of continuing education for our coaches and encourage you subscribe to WORLD CLASS COACHING today and keep up-to-date on the latest coaching tactics and ideas.

Along with the opportunities F.A.CA provides to further our coaches education through the many regional seminars and practice demonstrations held throughout the year, we also recommend various reading materials. WORLD CLASS COACHING is one such publication we at F.A.CA recommend to our members.

WORLD CLASS COACHING contains articles from the world’s leading clubs and coaches including many from our own Premier League. WORLD CLASS COACHING will provide you with a constant stream of ideas, and any serious coach will know, there is no such thing as too much information.

We trust you will enjoy reading WORLD CLASS COACHING and will find it an important addition to your coaching library.
