Soccer players and coaches alike admire the German national team for their combination of individual qualities and teamwork, leading to some of the most creative soccer being played during the 2014 World Championship. The roots for the German team’s success can be found in the youth training practiced in German soccer clubs. Most professional soccer clubs in Germany have their own youth academy where the next Bundesliga stars are formed. Of the 2014 World Cup squad, only Miroslav Klose was not trained in one of these academies. In this book, the system used for German soccer youth development is explained with particular emphasis on the different paths that young players can take on the road to success. World Champions and rising star players present their individual stories and some of the exercises that improve their strengths and remove their weaknesses. This book contains many interviews with former Bundesliga stars, soccer experts, and youth and professional coaches as well as an overview of the youth development program of an ambitious amateur club. Some of the star players interviewed include Marco Reus, Manuel Neuer, and Shkodran Mustafi as well as rising stars Sebastian Rode and Maximilian Arnold. This book is for everyone who’s interested in the German Soccer Association’s talent nurturing and different perspectives on the preparation of young players for a professional soccer career.

The growth of soccer in America is exponential. But this is not simply a soccer manual. It is a book about America's pride and its position in the world."e;How can America put a man on the moon almost fifty years ago and not yet win the men's soccer World Cup?"e; That's the blunt question from Jim Cassell, Football Development Consultant and former Academy Manager Manchester City Football Club."e;I am so glad that Jim Cassell, or Cass as he is often called, has decided to commit some of his philosophy to print. Aspects of the book have much to offer, such as advice for parents which is so apt, as are the comments on coaches which from my own experience at both club and international level I wholeheartedly endorse."e; - Joe Royle, former England international and Premier League Manager with Everton, Manchester City and Oldham Athletic."e;Jim's book has so many aspects - advice from the master, lessons to learn and interesting facts and advice for football development in the States. With such significant counsel how can it not be that the United States will not become the World Cup holders in the future?"e; - Des Coffey, Lead Education Ombudsman for the Premier League."e;Throughout the book there are valuable lessons which are there for football development based on the successful experiences which Jim has had over so many years."e; - Paul Power, former Captain of Manchester City Football Club."e;The fact that so many young professionals have emerged from the Manchester City F.C. Academy is mainly courtesy of Jim Cassell's professionalism, consistency and abilities."e; - Hanspeter Rothmund CEO of Football is More, Football Foundation."e;Too many people patronise soccer in America. Not Jim. This book is a genuine honest guide to becoming Soccer World Champions in 2026, which, incidentally, marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It's a must read book for everyone involved with soccer in America, coaches, players of every age and for every parent with a soccer youngster in the house."e; - Joe Cummings CEO, National Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) 2009 - 2015.
