Why was the collection "Futsal from A to Z" created - story...

When Lado started training futsal
in 2009 (the U21 team) in a Slovenian club, which at that time had 200 members
from 5 to 21 years of age, the club had no literature on futsal, no prepared
training sessions, exercises, no scripts; each coach somehow trained in his own
way. He started to research and with the help of Mr. Mića Martić (FIFA
instructor) started learning about Spanish and Brazilian futsal. He ordered
their books and DVDs, translated them and learned everything about futsal from
them. After several successful years of coaching, he decided to share his
acquired knowledge and experience; he found that clubs and coaches still lack
literature to help them through the demanding process of coaching. He started
by writing books - each book for a specific age group. This is how the
"Futsal from A to Z" collection was created. The fruit of 6 years of
work and research; it is the result of many efforts and sacrifices, and it has
become something that the author is happy to share as it inspires and teaches
coaches all over the world.

The collection "Futsal from A to Z" consists of five books. It is designed to cover all the key aspects of futsal, from basic rules to advanced strategies, ensuring broad market applicability. Did you know that futsal is the younger sibling of football?

The "Futsal from A to Z" collection offers a comprehensive overview of futsal (indoor football), from the basic rules of the game to advanced tactics and the development of this dynamic sport. The collection consists of 5 books divided by age categories: the first covers the age group 6 to 9 years, the second 10 to 11 years, followed by the third for 12 to 13 years, the fourth for 14 to 15 years, and the last, fifth book for ages 16 to 18+. Each book builds on the previous one, with knowledge and skills logically connected and progressively enhanced. They provide information and advice on how to teach and train players to play futsal; all explanations across the 5 books are supported by images, exercises, diagrams, and ready-made training plans.

The main themes of all the books are: TECHNIQUE (mastering ball control in all possible ways), TACTICS (systems 3-1, 2-2, 4-0, pressing, pressure, attack, defense, playing with a goalkeeper on the field, counter-attack, etc.), PHYSICAL CONDITIONING (fitness preparation), and SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY.
