Winning soccer games isn't about luck, talent, or yelling from the sidelines.
It's about statistics-and using them correctly.
Even in the English Premier League, teams only retain possession 55% of the time on throw-ins.
Cross the ball into the box? The chance of scoring is less than 1%.
Make one simple tactical adjustment-and that same play can improve scoring chances by over 5×.
This book reveals the hidden numbers behind soccer success and shows you exactly how to use them at the youth, high school, college, and adult levels.
Inside this data-driven soccer coaching book, you'll learn:
- Why forcing attackers wide into the corner lowers scoring odds to just 1.1%
- Why attacking through the middle increases scoring probability to over 60%
- The shot location where goalkeepers have a 0% chance of making the save
- How elite teams quietly use soccer analytics to gain a massive competitive advantage
- Simple, proven strategies that work even with average or developing players
This is not theory. These are proven soccer coaching strategies backed by statistics.
With over 20 years of coaching, Coach Alo breaks down complex soccer analytics into clear, practical coaching decisions you can apply immediately in games and training sessions.
That's why the original edition was nicknamed:
