I was employed as a semi-professional soccer coach in 1973 being paid about $5000 per season, I then went on to coach a Premier League Amateur Club about 1975 - 1977 and we won the league and cup in both first team and reserves and I was asked to become the coach the WA Amateur State Team. I started using my updated grids whilst coaching at my son's junior club, we had players asking to join as word got around about how the sessions were all action and fun, eventually we had to put another team into the junior competition. I developed the grids and worked on players moving and swapping roles so that the grid kept all players moving and that is how my first book was created in 1996/7 as a printed book called A New Approach To Coaching Soccer, later it turned into an email book sending out chapters around the world in about ten emails so I put the book onto a CD and sent these out (I got a nice letter from the coaching staff at Leeds Utd soccer club) anyway I then changed the name in 1985 to The Essential Coaching Handbook but settled on a web based set of grids now called The Soccer Coaching Handbook with about 250 grids. This I am giving to any soccer coach with free access to a basic version of the book via this web site.
