Dear Youth Soccer Coach,

One of the most commonly asked questions asked of Koach Karl by those coaching youth soccer is, "Where can I get a book of soccer drills and exercises for my team?"

Koach Karl's reply has always been, "Drills are for the Army! This is Soccer" until now. Koach Karl has finally found a book on soccer drills he can stand behind. That's because this is no ordinary "Drill" book.

Keep your Keeper Sharp
The largest trap that most goalkeepers fall into during field hockey practice is to be merely used as target practice by the others on the team. In order to fully develop your goalkeeper’s skills, try implementing some of these drills for field hockey goalkeepers at your next practice. A good goalkeeper is essential to winning field hockey games and these drills will keep your keeper’s reaction times down.

There are over seven million student-athletes who play high school sports. Football rosters list more than a million of those athletes, and smaller sports, like soccer, have over 600,000 teen competitors per year. Yet, in NCAA Division I, college athletics' biggest arena, only 151,000 students play intercollegiate sports. (Division II has 75,000 athletes) So what are the odds of, a high school basketball player making it to play big-time on the college hardwood? Less than 1 in 100.

What should high school athletes be doing to earn a scholarship -- or find a place on a college team?
