Best Coaching DVD's or Videos

[UncleNobby]

Following on from Val's Best Coaching Books thread I thought i would also add some DVD's I have also found useful.

110 Exercise for conditioning, Agility & Ball Control - Reedswain
Found lots of useful sessions in this DVD covering co-ordination & conditioning training, circuit training & obstacles and individual technique drills.

Coaching Set-plays - Tony Waiters
Covering penalties, attacking corners, defending corners, pratice methods, kick-off, attacking free kicks, defending free kicks, attacking throw-ins, defending throw-ins, attacking goal kicks and defending goal kicks.

Coaching the English Premier League 4-4-2 - David Williams
Split into 2 seperate DVDs one covering attacking and the other defending. Both these compliment the book of the same title.

Tactics & Drills for Zonal defending - World Class Coaching
Defending with a back four presented by David Williams.
Zonal defending presented by Mick Hennigan.
Improving confidence for heading presented by Mick Hennigan.

Tactics & Drills for Attacking and Goalscoring - World Class Coaching

OK, I admit to being a bit lazy here, but I'm looking for a specific video/DVD type and need some recommendations.

I'm going to do a little camp for my U10 and U12 girls this summer, and I'm looking for a good video of soccer skills that is especially geared towards the youngster, in that it is the kids who would watch. I'd like to be able to give it to each girl a couple of weeks before camp and then suggest that they watch it 3 or 4 times because that's what we're going to work on. I currently have the Soccer Stars video produced by the FA back in the late 80s, and it seems to be adequate (I have one girl reviewing it the next month to see what she thinks), but I'm wondering if there is anything more kid-friendly.

Any suggestions for kids at the younger end? 5-6 year olds!

I've quite a collection of DVD's/Videos but the two I keep coming back to and use the drills over and over again are the 'Forsport Drills Parts 1 & 2'.

I also like the Coerver range of DVD's, especially for teaching the younger kids techniques.

Forget all the expensive coaching manuals and DVD's you've seen and ignore my advice above. I've just discovered that there are some beautiful bits of coaching, in terms of psychological team talks and inspiring your players, for free on 'You Tube' and every aspiring coach should keep these in his collection.

I now know where I went wrong with my boys thanks to this wonderful insight into the professional game and great fly-on-the-wall camera work.

LOL, Sitton, brings back memories! You cannot deny his passion though!

More Orient passion here

I never tire of watching this from last season.

Quality! What an absolutely fantastic game football can be at times, pushing you through every imaginable emotion from despair to sheer joy.

I've given up on my Hammers for this season, but I sometimes journey over to Broadhall Way to watch the Borough with my lads if I don't have anything better to do on a Saturday afternoon! They started off poorly, were in a relegation spot after first few months, new manager, massive personnel changes going on - it looked bleak.

Now, they are one round away from the FA Trophy final (Which I'm hoping will be played at the new Wembley if it is ready!) and on the brink of a promotion play-off place after a fantastic run of games since December.

Just in case I didn't make it prominent enough, Coaching the English Premier League 4-4-2 is a bit of a rip off. Under an hours worth of demonstrations and little attention to detail, I was really disappointed with the DVD.

Thanks for the feedback. That one had been on my long list of books/dvds to get. I'll pass and try something else...
