Worth twice the price

I have over 100 soccer books including goalkeeping books by Wilson, Shilton, Luxbacher, Waiters,Machink and the videos of Machnik, Hoek and Dicicco. Lincoln Philips's book was worth the money and more for several reasons. He has the wisdom of years of playing experience at the the national team level as well as college coaching and USSF Staff coaching duties. He has an excellent discussion on the art of stopping penalty kicks and develops a list of visual cues goalkeepers can use to predict where kicks will go. He examines techniques for prevailing in 1v1 breakaways I had not previously encountered. Finally he has an excellent section on defending restarts which is particularly valuable to the goalie in light of the high percentage of goals which result from poor defensive communication and organization at these times.

An excellent book and superior value

I knew nothing of goalkeeping before purchasing this book. This book is easy to read and understand, well organized, and full of easy-to-follow visuals. I purchased it to understand our goalkeeper's job and loaned it to him to read. He played keeper for years, and even he learned from it and INSTANTLY improved. An injury prevents him from playing this season. With this book as my only coach and practicing what was in it, we (myself and my defense) earned a shutout in just my second game as keeper. Lincoln Phillips provides coaching in every aspect of goalkeeping and tells you exactly what you need to know. I recommend this book for beginning keepers, experienced keepers, coaches, and anyone else interested in the position and its importance. BUY THIS!

The Number One Goal Keeping Manual For Any Serious Keeper

Lincoln Phillips is one of the outstanding teachers of the game today. He brings a warm and open presence to the subject, revealing the secrets to playing the position with a common sense approach that is guaranteed to bring success. This is a must-have addition to any coaches or players library.

great goalkeeping book

I am 13 years old and I play goalkeeper for a club team. I bought this book a couple of days ago and I am already half way through this book. I think this is one of the best goalkeeping books I have read.

An Excellent Guide into The Art of Goal Keeping

As a former international goalkeeper, I can appreciate the value of this well written book of goalkeeping. During my collegiate and international career, I have benefited from the lessons and inspirations of Mr. Phillips' teachings and I highly recommend this book to all aspiring goalkeepers and professionals as well. Having faced numerous game situations, I relied on the fundamental principles laid out in this book to lead my teams to numerous championships. Most importantly, Lincoln Phillips has demonstrated that goal keeping is the most important player on the team. Teams should develop the psychological aspect of their goalkeepers in addition to the physical dimension. As the sub-title states, the goalkeeper is not only the last line of defense, but also the first line of attack. Any team that has won championships credits quality goalkeeping as a main ingredient. I look forward to future works from Lincoln Phillips.
