Download or read book The U S Women s Soccer Team written by Clemente A. Lisi and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010-04-26 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated through the 2012 Olympics. On a July afternoon in 1999, the proudest moment for U.S. soccer occurred in Pasadena, California. In the presence of more than 90,000 fans and viewed by another 40 million on television, the U.S. women outlasted China to win the World Cup. Although the United States has lagged far behind other countries in the men's game, it has been at the forefront when it comes to women's soccer. In the second edition of The U.S. Women's Soccer Team: An American Success Story, Clemente A. Lisi examines how the sport has gained popularity over the past few decades. While other books have been written about the team during a specific year, such as those focused solely on the World Cup win on U.S. soil, Lisi looks beyond this event, detailing the program's infancy and how it steadily became a model for women's teams around the globe. Beginning with the start of the U.S. program in 1985, Lisi recounts the development of the women's team, highlighted by their two first place finishes in the Women's World Cups (1991 and 1999) and four Olympic women's gold medals (1996, 2004, 2008, and 2012). In addition to chronicling the history of the team as a whole, this book offers mini profiles and photographs of some of the best players over the years, including Julie Foudy, Amy Rodriguez, Hope Solo, and Mia Hamm.

Book excerpt: And the vessel that He made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make (Jeremiah 18:4). Women in Pain is a sequel to my first book, The Stages of Womanhood: Partnering with God to Birth His Will in Your Life. In birthing the will of God, pain is inevitable as it is in giving birth naturally. There is bound to be an oasis in the midst of every desert. This book helps the reader to find ones oasis in the midst of that painful event. The reader is helped to find that innate strength in order to push through and overcome the pain and come into the original will of God for ones life. In this book, Women in Pain, Cassandra has unraveled the mystery surrounding physical and emotional pain when its presented to God and has highlighted how to hold on until change comes. Scriptures have been shared that will encourage women to look beyond the pain (Psalm 121:12) and look up to God, who is able to bring back to life the things that are dead in their lives. Cassandra has reminded us that storms do not rage forever. It stops at some point, and the sun shines again. I deem this book a healing manual indeed! Such an incredible insight not only for women; it is a must-read for everyone (Reverend Victoria Beecham).
