Publisher's Synopsis
Magazine-style and full of humor, anecdotes and practical information, The Five-a-Side Bible covers sports science, tactics, nutrition, fitness warm-ups and warm-downs, but with an emphasis on fun. It reflects the shared experiences of participants and covers everything from the crazy team names-The Neville Wears Prada, Murder on Zidane's Floor-to wacky stories of ill-discipline and injuries, outlandish excuses for not playing, kit disasters, the five-a-side archetypes and tips from pros like former England international Matt Le Tissier and current Everton winger Aiden McGeady. Fully illustrated in color, The Five-a-Side Bible will profile the best five-a-side players in the UK and provide a bucket list-including a pitch on top of a skyscraper in Shanghai and one on Copacabana beach-for those who want to take their fives obsession to the next level.
