Hi Everyone,

I would like to share a soccer book I've written called: "Money Grab $$: A Parents' Guide to American Youth Soccer" It has gotten as high as #3 on Amazon in the Soccer Coaching category.

If you've every wanted a map or guide to know what you will face as a parent new to Recreational Soccer, Competitive, or your player wants to play in college or even become a pro, or adult soccer, this book covers the entire player development lifecycle.

And, it is the PERFECT HOLIDAY GIFT!!

Having lived through the last 50 years of American youth soccer history as a player, Coach, Referee, Pro Goalkeeper in the original Major Indoor Soccer League, College Head Coach, and High School Head Coach, I saw Pele come to play in America and more. Just like Messi came to America to everyone's delight! We didn't even have Club Soccer. High School was all there was available!

This book also teaches you all of the FUNdamental skills a player needs to be successful at any age, how to play as a team and what costs are associated with soccer make sense to spend on and those that don't.

Here is the book's link on amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Money-Grab-Parents-American-Soccer-ebook/dp/B0B9T79LMG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Should you be interested in learning more, I will have copies available at the field tomorrow. Please share the with your Parents, Coaches and Players.

Thank you and see you in the morning!
