5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent how-to book for soccer players,
By Bruin Doc (Southern California, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fair Game : A Complete Book of Soccer for Women (Paperback)
This is an excellent book and resource for those of us who love the game of soccer and are interested and investing in improving our skills, strategy, training, and knowledge of the game. And, this, written by one of the finest women soccer players the game has ever seen. My daughter has read this book several times and has a better understand and sense of the game that she loves; and, because she's now is a more knowledgeable and improved player, she loves the sport even more. A particularly inspiration book for young girls who are motivated to improving their games, and dream of achieving as much as Lorrie has during her incredible career.
