Why the short corner deserves a book.
We named the shop after the short corner because it is the single most decisive set-piece in the game and the one most club sides treat as an afterthought. Watch a level match and the goals cluster here — yet at training the corner routine is usually two lines a coach shouts from memory and nobody quite runs the same way twice.
So we wrote down what actually works: the timing between inject and trap, the strike choices that survive a real defensive runner, and how to keep the whole thing simple enough that eleven tired players remember it at 3-2 down. No theory for its own sake. Just the routines we run ourselves, drawn clearly enough that you can put them on the whiteboard on Thursday and score from them on Saturday.
Kit it out in one go.
Before you commit.
Is this for players or coaches?
Both, but it is written the way a coach thinks. If you run a training session it hands you routines you can chalk up on Thursday and run on Saturday. If you play, it explains what your job is on each variation so you stop guessing when the inject goes down. It assumes you already know the basic rules of a penalty corner — it is not a beginner's primer, it is the set-piece sheet a club side is usually missing.
What format is it, and how do I get it?
It is a 42-page PDF you download the moment you check out. It reads on a phone at the side of the pitch, a tablet in the clubhouse, or a desktop when you are drawing up the week. Access is for life — re-download it whenever you change devices or lose the file, at no extra cost.
Does it cover defending corners as well?
No, and that is deliberate. This book is attacking-only — injects, traps, strike variations, and the second-phase scramble. Defending the corner is a different craft with its own timing, and folding it in would have watered down both halves. If you want the attacking routines done properly rather than a bit of everything, this is that book.
How does it pair with First Touch Fundamentals?
They sit either side of the same problem. First Touch Fundamentals fixes the trapping and receiving that every corner routine quietly depends on — a strike variation only works if the trapper kills the inject clean. Read that one to build the hands, read this one to build the set-piece. Together they are still less than a takeaway coffee.
