Phil, just a word of thanks for the soccer coaching manual, I am involved with coaching a regional rep senior team in the Northern league in NZ. I coach the reserve side so as you can imagine we have had a large number of players through our sessions this season. I started the season with basic tactical awareness, measuring our performance and, as much as possible, the oppositions. At the half way mark we had 13 points on the table (of a possible 30) and had won a couple of great cup games. The second half of the season has gone slightly better. We have 34 points with 3 games to go. Increased tactical awareness has enabled our team of largely teen players to out play larger, older and technically generally better teams. I very much appreciate your input. Many thanks. Jerome Luiten, New Zealand |

I have a read thru your coaching manual most evenings after work to try to absorb the drills and coaching questions to pass on to my players. I came across the manual after becoming fed up of searching local bookshops W.H.Smiths and the like and finding nothing of any use. I just looked on the net for Soccer Coaching and saw your two manuals.The one I bought seemed to fit the bill .I look at the game much deeper now...My wife claimed "Your obsessed with tactics". "You ought to take that book to bed with you" so I do. Cheers Jim Hunter, UK |

We worked hard and re-organised having read you Simple manual. We are unbeaten and the players are enjoying the game more as for the first time they know what they are supposed to do when defending and attacking. David, Canada |

I've been coaching for 12 years, and this is the first book that I've found that actually looks at tactics in real game situations... Paul, USA |

The Basic Guide to Tactics in small sided games has transformed my team. They are enjoying the game more and we are winning more. I feel much happier as I can see what's going wrong and put it right. Graham, England |

The TACTICIAN is excellent I have changed who takes penalties and watch games a lot differently now thanks to the way you have broken down how goals are scored. Karen, Scotland |

I realised I hadn't got a clue about the tactical side of the game. I know use the ideas you introduce and can analyse any situation.

Hi Phil, Just an update. WE WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Thanks for you help. 7 years and finally my son won. The kids played a great tactical game against a far more superior team. We dominated the game and had control of the ball for 80% of the game, even though we only won 1 -0. Thanks again for your help from the Coaching Manual and the emailed questions you replied to. I'll keep in touch. Dennis, UK |

Dear Mr. Wymer , I have read your manual, Coaching Soccer Tactics, and enjoyed it tremendously. I have never come across such a comprehensive look at the tactical side of soccer. I would recommend it to everyone. What's more the monthly magazine (the TACTICIAN) is constantly updating my understanding and knowledge of the game ... . Henry, USA |

Every professional and non- professional club should follow your advice on developing players, attacking and giving confidence. The way you have explained the game means with very little effort players can understand and work out what to do in a real game situation. Other coaching books are full of o's and x's and don't relate what's being taught to the game. A fantastically well researched and simply written piece of work. Ian, UK |
