Do Soccer Training Videos Help Coaches, Parents and Players

Soccer training videos have come a long way in the form of production and availability, but has the content improved? So many people have been disappointed by their purchases it is important to understand what they contain.

There’s nothing worse than getting all excited about the arrival of your newly purchased soccer training video and then feeling let down after watching it. These reviews led Coach V and his staff to make 100% sure their new series would quickly become the new dominant soccer technical skills training video on the market today.

Hints on buying soccer training videos.

1- Content Listing
Soccer coaches, parents and players should make sure they look at the content breakdown of the video they are about to order. If it is vague there is a good chance the video is vague.

2- Skills or Simply Drills
Does the video actually show raw skill training or is it a practice session showing drills performed over and over? There is a big difference.

3- How long is the video?
If you think you can be come a great coach or player by watching a 60 minute video, you are sadly mistaken. It takes years to improve and the amount of learning is extensive.

When Coach V set out to design the www.SoccerU.com series he did so only after talking to 1000’s of soccer coaches, parents and soccer players to find out what THEY really wanted. It was important that this series didn’t disappoint like so many others had. His goal was to create the most comprehensive series focusing on individual soccer skills and do so in method that actually taught people how to learn and teach them.

“So many people have been let down by soccer training videos that simply show excellent players performing drills. We wanted to show real life players being taught the raw soccer skills and performing them the wrong way and the right way. Coaches, trainers, parents and players all benefit from seeing average to great soccer players learning in real time. Not a staged series of drills where everyone performs the skills perfectly. I believe this is one of the true benefits that people will get out of this series.” Coach V
