My initial reaction on seeing this book was, 'Wow, a chance to get a really good look at some Dutch Coaching methods' since they are globally reknowned and respected.
My reaction on reading it was one of disappointment. It is not actually written by an Ajax coach but by a journalist (who does coach)who spent a season with Ajax. Smink has put 40 drills in this book (and they are drills, not session plans) but some of them are pathetic. A long line of players waiting for a lay-off to shoot is hardly innovative, I am sure all coaches have carried this drill out at some point, but including it in an Ajax coaching book makes one of Europes best teams look a joke!
I did get a few ideas out of this book but most of the drills I had seen before and I did not appreciate the section deveoted to players recovering from injuries. Common sense tells us they must ease their way back into full training, show me something new!

Excellent reference, I have used 10-12 of the drills and each one of them was a success. As the previous reviewer said the drills are easy to progress and change to suit numbers and conditions.
