Synopsis

In this down to earth book, parent and soccer coach Gordon Myers shares the wonderful insight into what makes young boys and girls playing soccer tick. The refreshing revelation is that all kids are quite similar as they grow and that wanting to really just have fun is quite evident. It is most often their own parents that take the child out of their children. Kids mess up, get excited, do like winning, care less about losing and do bounce right back as one might hope that they will. Their unique personalities bring character to the team. While self-motivation, even in a child, is a most powerful tool, the wrong motivation could have equally far reaching effects. This jovial, true to life, story should bring a warm smile to the reader as they experience the adventures of some very lucky kids at play in a very big playground.
