The GU14 Capitals coaching staff are not the only ones using "The Art of War" for tactical advantages. Read this article about Portugal's Head Coach (Phil Scolari) using Sun Tzu's Art of War for soccer - Nigel is in pretty good company!

LUIZ FELIPE SCOLARI is plotting England's downfall in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday by taking inspiration from a 2,600-year-old book on warfare written by a Chinese general.
Sun Tzu's famous espousal of the importance of preparation, decisiveness, and selflessness has appealed to Scolari, who has The Art of War as his bedside reading here in Germany.
A familiar tract to many leaders in business, politics, the military and US sport, The Art of War has become increasingly popular in cricket, especially in Australia, and now in football.
