Soccer isn’t just a game—it’s a mindset. Baller Goals is the ultimate training resource designed for athletes who are serious about improving their technical skills, mental game, and overall performance on and off the field. Written by Coach Derek Phillips, a former pro player and elite coach, and Coach Nassim Ebrahimi, PhD, a mental performance expert, this book and its accompanying workbook give players a structured way to measure their growth, build confidence, and master the fundamentals

This biography is filled with anecdotes of Coach Phillips’s life. From his boyhood in Trinidad to his days as the nickname-bestowing soccer coach who expects his players to excel, academically and athletically, the book will transport you from the tears of tough losses to the euphoria of two national titles. Read the story of an athlete and soldier so exhausted from long days of training for competition that he can’t polish his army boots when he returns to base, and learn about the man who finds the ideal slogan to rally the embattled Howard team to a second national title after they’re stripped of the first.

Be the best at the toughest job in the game. Soccer Goalkeeping can teach you how. This first-of-its-kind book is broken into three parts: Understanding the Goalkeeper's Role, Goalkeeping Technique, and Goalkeeping Tactics. And no one is more qualified to write about all three than Lincoln Phillips, the world-renowned player and coach. From the basic starting position to the psychological aspects of goalkeeping, this all-encompassing book can help coaches and players alike.
