The
Anatomy of Football is about football development from its
origins through a timeline to its present state. Given such
backgrounds, the society from which it germinated and got nurtured is
portrayed well in the picture in a way that makes the book relevant
even to readers who do not take the game seriously.
You
can trust the author to include all interests and take along sports
lovers in general, as the philosophies and mindsets describe will be
similar and equally interesting for other disciplines and in life in
general.
To
guide the reader's perspective, the glance of the laws governing the
game, a look the perception of football in general leads the line of
thought into how decision-making processes begin with sprouting
sparkle and desire to do well, and in a certain way.
The
subject at always at the heart of the author is the science of
football and what part it plays. There is a look at the role of
technology as well as dissection of each component of the game.
Examples
of known facts and footballing greats of the past and present makes
it even more exciting. There are points and opinions to look at from
different leagues around the world.
What
makes the book more enjoyable is the easy to read language and
everyday concept used to illustrate the points being made, and of
course as said before, that the principles given can be applied in
real life situations outside football or sports in general.
You
can bet on the entertainment value, as the follower of e-Diski Blog,
and so much food for thought as you will be challenged to think in
other terms on almost anything in life after reading the book.
With
the technical sporting ideas and concepts, it is surprisingly easy to
the mind that one does not feel they are reading a coaching manual,
but then, coaches and those in positions of power, will feel much
equipped to face their challenges in the game with much gusto.
Looking
at all the aspects of how to communicate, how to control the
situation under different circumstances as well as building one's
success, ardent fans and supporters will begin to appreciate their
club coaches' decisions, or criticise from an educated view point.
The
whole appreciation of sports in general is taken to another level and
as you will realise, even an approach to one's lifestyle can benefit
positively just by following the ideas being put across.
The
Anatomy of Football was
written in a mentality changing attitude that will make good coaches
very good, average ones good and poor ones average. It will not
surprising that a single simple concept will actually turn a poor one
into a world beater, trust me.
It is easier to note the level of
the author's understanding of the game, having worked with toddlers,
amateurs and professionals for a long time, and went on to work with
those who work with national teams.
Last
but not least, he draws out an ideal situation of a team, worst case
scenarios and the dos and don'ts of the modern game. That aspects
also covers the most interesting part of how professional clubs run
their affairs, from the English Premiership, Serie A, Bundesliga to
La Liga.

book is available as a hard-copy from Amazon (The
Anatomy of Football)
