Soccer Mastery by Chest Dugger is an easy-to-read, practical, down-to-earth tool kit of everyday habits and techniques that aspiring soccer players can adopt to realize their full potential in a sport that the author clearly loves and has dedicated his life to. Unlike most “how-to” guides, Soccer Mastery is written with tremendous humility and a true reverence for learning. In many cases, the author freely confesses that some of the discoveries included in the book were happy accidents and that there is still much to learn. Chest Dugger is a pen name for the soccer coaching brand under which the book is distributed; therefore, it is clear that the text reflects the collective expertise of a group of devotees. This, too, makes it unusually accessible and eminently practical. The love of the game is further reflected in a soccer drills worksheet, offered by way of a QR code, that accompanies the text.
Soccer Mastery is written in a warm, friendly, you-can-do-it tone, ideal for inspiring emerging talents to achieve greatness. Each position on the team, both offensive and defensive, is analyzed and paired with appealing anecdotes and real wisdom. Along with the easy-to-use tips and tools, Soccer Mastery is infused with fascinating real-world historical and educational references, which make the book interesting and enlightening even if one is not a soccer aficionado. Readers will find a treasure trove of life skills woven throughout the book – ideas as simple as recognizing that positive people attract other positive people and the inherent value of watching and learning from the best. Soccer Mastery by Chest Dugger has a great deal to offer soccer players at every level and those who wish to better understand them and the game.
