"What do you expect from your substitutes?" That’s the question Englishman Sammy Lander addressed during a fascinating conference for Vcoaching this past September. As the first-ever "substitute coach" in professional soccer, and a consultant for several Premier League clubs, Lander has just released his first book: "Finishers." The goal? "To help coaches become more methodical and effective with their substitutions. No matter the level of play, the role of the substitute is often seen in a negative light. Coaches and players alike have yet to fully master this complex and incredibly decisive role in modern soccer." This book offers strategies and advice on how to become an expert at maximizing the role of your "finishers" — those crucial players coming off the bench to make an impact. A must-read !
