THE KEY TO OPTIMIZING A PLAYER'S BODY ORIENTATION IN FOOTBALL
 
In top-level football, the players in possession of the ball have very little space and time to react, requiring coaches to provide their players with tools that will allow them to speed up their responses and meet the demands of today’s game.Recognizing this need, José Mataix – a coach who is well-versed youth football and is passionate about player development and the creative processes within the game – has created this book, with a series of 30 activities for training proper body profile/orientation to improve the players’ reaction time and speed of play, something that is so crucial in modern football. Profiles is a very useful compendium of training activities that all coaches must have in their tool kit if they want to building a team whose players know how to interpret what is happening around them on the pitch.
