"Blank has catalogued soccer's most common mistakes and provides simple, connect-the-dot solutions to help players solve their soccer problems"--Page 4 of cover.Volume One: Soccer iQ is the first book for soccer PLAYERS! In a world saturated with books about how to coach soccer, Dan Blank finally gives players a book on how to think it. Standing on two decades of collegiate coaching experience, Blank has catalogued soccer's most common mistakes and provides simple, connect-the-dots solutions to help players solve their soccer problems. Soccer IQ is soccer's first text book for players; an almanac of smarter soccer decisions intended to flatten out the learning curve. It covers everything from hunting rebounds to the value of the toe-ball; from playing in the rain to the world's dumbest foul. Blank tells his story from the familiar and humorous voice of a coach who has endured years of stress at the hands of his players. Written in plain-spoken language, Soccer IQ is an easy read and a quick-fix to the most common yet critically important soccer problems. Includes a bonus chapter on the college recruiting process.

This is a very slim volume written by the coach of a women's college soccer team. He wrote this book as a guide for other soccer coaches. Each chapter, usually just a page or two, describes a different situation and how soccer players should, but often do not, respond in the best way. There are chapters for such situations as defending the penalty kick, playing against a killer wind, play from a spot, the world's dumbest foul, and many, many more. Each chapter describes what to do and what not to do in a very humorous way, making the whole volume a delight to read. Some of the chapters describe in just a few words exercises that a coach can use to work on improving soccer technique related to the situation described.
I know that this book was intended for use by soccer coaches, but it has made me a much more observant soccer viewer. Now I'm on the alert to see if players are using the techniques described in this book correctly or not. It's great fun for me to watch this during a game!
Although I hate to do this as it will add to my growing collection of books at home, I feel this book needs to be part of my permanent book collection. It's a skinny book...so that should be okay. :) ( )
