Not for newbies
The author clearly loves soccer and has a solid background with the sport. His knowledge does not easily translate those of us new to coaching the game. Terminology usage changes throughout the book, the glossary is just a list of tournaments, and space is spent cross-promoting his other books. Can't recommend this for anyone but a soccer "fanboy."

Know your role..
Dylan provides an overview of all the positions in soccer. It was helpful to have a visual of what areas different positions cover on the field. As a coach it is helpful to give my players a visual so they can see what areas they need to cover defensively and the spaces they can exploit offensively. Knowing the different positions is helpful in determining what formation your team will use. This will be a great resource to come back to when I have tryouts and see what kind of players I have for this upcoming season.

So. Many. Positions.
I bought this book after reading Dylan's Soccer Training. I decided I had much more to learn and the delivery and digestibility of Dylan's content was great for my busy, working parent and soccer dad life.

What did I like about this book? It's a solid introduction to the responsibilities and requirements of the various position in the sport. Diagrams show basic sectors a position would be responsible for and contrast against similar positions to point out the differences. What I liked most about is that it would point out a few remarkable examples of each position, allowing in depth study of those individuals, and more importantly, showing players those they could aspire to be like.

What would I change? I have a print version of the book, so it's in gray scale. Some diagrams are block color coded, making it hard to tell the differences in the blocks. Adding patterns to the diagrams instead of or in addition to the colors would make them much clearer.

Be a better player...know your place!
Dylan Joseph does it again!! I have really enjoyed his soccer books which have helped me to be an all around better player. This latest book in the series is phenomenal because it helped me learn how to do things differently based on what position I am in. My coach puts me in defense and midfield and this book gave me the knowledge and tips that I needed to be successful in both positions. I would highly recommend!!

Be The Best Player On The Team For Your Position!
Dylan covers the basics in this book and then goes beyond that to go into depth for each position and what they require.

There are many different formations and tactics used in soccer and this book can help figure out how you can play your best; every coach likes to play differently and the same position can have different roles.

For example, Dylan will cover the responsibilities a center back has and the different ways they can play. He also adds in the names of some of the best pro players who have played in that position. This can really come in handy to do some homework and watch some videos of them playing!

Broadens a players context!
This book gives a broader context to soccer. Typically when I'd play soccer I'd focus on what I was doing, but this book gives a wider context and explains the importance and value of each position. Much like a clock and it's many gears, this shows how each position can be beneficial! Great read!
