As high school coach who is always looking to find new ways to teach the attack, James Lambert’s analytical break down of Barcelona’s offense was insightful and strategic.  Through the use of quick short passes around the 18 yard box, patient ball movement between players and a conscience team effort towards attacking, any team should be able to improve their overall attacking ability and decision making. The result should be more scoring for the team and success for the coaching staff.”  Bob Rickards, Notre Dame Academy Boys and Girls  Varsity Coach and Green Bay Lightning Club Coach
