Reading the Game — Vol. 1
The Developing Winger · Paperback & Kindle
£12.99Buy the Book
Scanning, positioning and decision-making for developing wingers. The mental side of the game — taught with a real match film in every chapter.
Most football books teach technique your winger already has. This one teaches the part nobody coaches directly: what to notice before the ball arrives, and what to do about it.
What to look for, and how the scan should change the body — not just the mind.
A first touch that already solves the next problem.
Where space actually is — and how to occupy it so you can be reached.
Read the line, not the man. Arrive as the window opens.
Every chapter opens with a real match situation and closes with a film, an IDER review, key takeaways and a coach's practice. Tap any to open its companion page.
A real situation, no answer yet.
What's said vs what's true.
The problem at the top level, on film.
The usual mistakes and each fix.
