It also gives players the chance to proudly represent their country and heritage as they travel around the world. However, the ability to become a professional soccer player takes hard work, discipline, and dedication to the sport. You need to learn to be fast, flexible and focused on a soccer field while thousands of people are watching every move you make. This will require you to obtain extensive knowledge and training from someone who is an experienced soccer player and knows everything there is to know about the game. This book was written by such a person. The information you are about to read will advise you on all aspects of how to become a professional soccer player. You will first learn about the elements needed to become a successful soccer player and then how to market yourself as an agent. The four main elements of soccer success are having physical readiness, tactical & technical competence, mental strength, and nutrition. These elements all play a role in making you an outstanding soccer player out on the field. Obviously, you will need to be physically ready if you're going to be able to handle the intense physical exertion that soccer entails. This will involve performing vigorous exercise training regimens to get you in top shape for the game. Tactical & technical competence is about understanding the various soccer positions and how they are useful for your team. These positions include forward, striker, left midfielder, right midfielder, stopper, defensive midfielder, goalie, and more. The book will teach you how to build mental strength to enhance your cognitive flexibility and responsiveness, which are skills needed in soccer. Most importantly, there will be great emphasis placed on the importance of good nutrition. After all, a professional athlete must maintain a strict nutritious diet if they are going to excel at soccer. Once you learn the best foods to eat and when to eat them, you will have more energy and strength on the field. Remember that professional soccer is a business like anything else. You may have fun playing the game but as a player, you will be the employee of the team owner or manager. If you want to get hired by a team and go play for them, you basically need to market yourself as if you're applying for a job. This means creating a resume that outlines your experience and skills in all types of athletics. By the time you finish reading this book, you will know what it takes to become a professional soccer player. You might decide that you've got what it takes to succeed as a player or you may not. Either way, let this book guide you along the way.

Book excerpt: What has happened to and in American youth soccer over the past fifty years? I will take you on a stroll down memory lane, sharing some of my fondest memories and others I would like to forget; but cannot. Soccer in America has become “All about the money.” Some have forgotten it really is, and needs to always be “All about the players” and to develop their lifelong love of and passion for the sport. Parents are willing to pay “whatever the market will bear” as the club and/or coaches charge ever increasing to astronomical fees with the hope to have their child will succeed in obtaining the holy grail of a college soccer scholarship and not let their child fall behind their peers. The problem is that many parents have no idea what is actually going on in America’s youth soccer today, what they may soon face, or how to best navigate any of it. The hashtag I use to describe this is #youcantmakethissoccerstuffup. Money Grab $$—A Parents’ Guide to American Youth Soccer is an insider’s view of the actual soccer player developmental life cycle beginning with recreational FUN then to the drama, pain points, best practice actions and costs of competitive soccer. From just starting in the sport through your player’s deveIopmental life cycle, we will share what it takes to enjoy, survive, and possibly even make a professional soccer team and then stay at that level. Having been involved for so long, I have heard this same parents’ cry for help and understanding repeatedly, especially in the past few years. Parents who always want to do the best for their player but don’t have a clue, or for those who thought they had the clue, only to find out otherwise, need guidance and insight into what is going on. It will be invaluable and settling to understand in advance the decisions parents may face so that they may make the correct ones given the information available or to obtain what is needed to make and intelligent, data-driven decision, what to look for in a coach and, when to run. It will also identify many of the current and potential methods for a variety of folks to take parent’s hard-earned money out of their wallets providing little to nothing in return, also known as “Money Grab.”

Download or read book Raising Tomorrow s Champions written by Paul Tukey and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ask most of the millions of pre-teen soccer-playing girls in America if they plan to make the U.S. Women's National Team someday and the answer for them - and most of their parents - will be a resounding "Yes!" Among the most successful international teams in any sport in the past three decades, the USNWT has emerged as a collective cultural icon, with its individual members redrafting the very definition of female across the globe. With the lines blurring between male and female behavior, girls are competing ferociously and celebrating wildly without apology. Women are demanding gender and racial equity, while dressing and speaking authentically, and loving however and whomever they choose. The reality is that making the National Team is about as likely as winning the lottery. Of the tens of millions of soccer players since the team was formed in 1985, fewer than 250 women have ever made it to the highest level as of 2020. In Raising Tomorrow's Champions, one of those players, 16-year professional Joanna Lohman, joins current soccer dad and 40-year journalist Paul Tukey to share the team members' stories, from the early pioneers like Michelle Akers, Brandi Chastain and Mia Hamm, who are now parents themselves, to modern-day household names like Abby Wambach, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe. For a true picture of what makes these women champions, Joanna and Paul also talked to their parents, coaches and teammates. The result of this unprecedented access to the National Team is an intimately revealing portrait of what it takes to make it to the top, not just in soccer, but in life. Not every child will make the most elite team, but the choices they - and their families - make in the face of challenge and adversity may define their childhood, their high school experiences, their college options, and their path forward in life. Not every child will necessarily even play soccer, but the lessons shared within Raising Tomorrow's Champions can help him or her become accomplished, authentic, and satisfied adults no matter what path they choose.
