Book Overview
Youth soccer presents a wealth of opportunities for children to build mental and physical strength, but parents are often expected to take on new roles as coaches and spectators to enhance their child's success. At first blush, these roles seem simple, but like most things in life, the rewards of youth soccer depend on how much effort both parent and child invest, and appropriate parental involvement is crucial.
Andy Beers embraced his role as a soccer dad and embarked on a sixteen-year adventure that spanned the childhoods of his three children, a big city, a small rural community, and two states. When he began, he was ignorant about everything related to soccer. By the time he was finished, he was a confident and knowledgeable coach. Still, like most parents, Andy frequently made potentially life-changing decisions involving his children but never knew how his actions would influence their futures. Now, he looks back and shares successful strategies, including coaching tips, parental advice, and dealing with the challenges of sportsmanship.
The Beers family's real-life soccer adventure provides surprising plot twists. The lessons learned serve as a useful guide for soccer parents, no matter if their child is a beginning or advanced player. Don't miss this incredible story or the opportunity to improve your soccer experience by learning from Andy's missteps and triumphs.
