The book "Coaching Children" is a recommendation for those involved with developmental ages, proposing exercises to create a mindset and application based on communication, perception, and decision-making by the young footballers themselves, through the utilization of their experiences in training and games.
It contains a sample exercise program from U6 to U14, with exercises that have action, realism, goals, and motivation, according to the characteristics of the ages, the fields of training, and the directions of long-term planning.

The ten commandments of the development of the young footballer proposed by "Coaching Children" should be based on:
1. In the introductory stage, on the freedom of movements and actions through various stimuli.
2. Creating street conditions, exercises with all kinds of obstacles, and forced different movements, not necessarily football-related, to help the overall coordination of children, up to the age of U10.
3. 1vs1 as a main element of individual tactical training.
4. Individual-extra training at home, if possible in a free form.
5. Alternating positions in training and games up to U12.
6. The importance of biological age, so that children, when possible, compete with older children.
7. Decision-making by the children themselves, so the exercise program in organized academies should take care of this.
8. The 4vs4 game as a basis for training and practice.
9. Individual-extra training beyond the team-academy, from the age of U14 and above.
10. The "Life Lessons" that football as a team sport can give, throughout this journey from the age of 4 until the completion of this process, that is, for a lifetime!

The book aims to stimulate thought in every coach, because it is important for each of us to walk a creative path, evolving ourselves, our athletes, and football.
