Water Polo Goalkeeper, Paperback

FROM THE AUTHOR: There is very little sports literature that talks in any detail specifically about water polo goalkeepers. In this book I have tried to present a short theoretical and practical demonstration of the goalkeeping technique. The most important exercises and drills are analytically described, logically ordered and accompanied by useful drawings and photographs. I believe this handbook will be a welcome tool in the work of coaches working across the range of age groups. Zoran Kacic, Author of Water Polo Goalkeeper.
