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.

Book excerpt: As a parent, nothing beats the unmatched joy of watching your child make a difference by scoring that amazing goal, making that perfect pass, or saving a goal to win the match. Our hearts swell and we get misty-eyed. But, navigating the soccer industrial complex is really hard...This book is for intentional parents who want their kids to be the best versions of themselves on the soccer pitch and in life. The game can teach the mindset, process, and skills needed to be successful in life. These elements can drive your child's success in life by providing a foundation of creativity, grit, and confidence.There is a lot of noise in youth soccer; just listen to the sidelines of a weekend game. Having never done it before, parents and kids are trying to figure it all out in real-time. The game and coaching have changed dramatically in the last 10 years. It can be confusing and frustrating.For these reasons, parents need to know what they don't know and educate themselves. They need to be open to new, innovative ways to improve rather than settling for the ways soccer has always been done. You have to be willing to try new things to "hack the system."This book is designed to educate you on the most you need to know in as few words as possible. The truth is that your child will need to be 10% different in order to be successful. We are going to pitch you on unique ways to help your child be different. We will make the case in short chapters, then you decide. Read these chapters again over the years as needs will change as your child matures.Our most important credential is that we are soccer parents writing for soccer parents. Our children have played at all levels. We have coached and played at different youth levels and colleges."If they fall in love with a ball at some young level, (that) catalyst causes them to become elite. (If you are) the sort of barking parent that sits on top of them and critiques them after every game, then trust me, they're never going to get to a higher level." Anson Dorrance, UNC Women's Soccer Coach & Winner of 21 NCAA Championships "There's so many important life lessons to be taken from soccer. If I ever have kids, my hope for my kids would be that they would learn all the life lessons that I've learned." Sam Mewis, US Women's National Team & World Cup Winner "I wish every parent got a parent handbook to support your kid. Here's a checklist of things that you can do to support yourself and a realistic application to support your kids..." Heath Pearce, US Men's National Team & MLS Player "Let them experience it. Let the kids decide that soccer is for them. Let them have the passion and the commitment and the dedication coming from them. Not coaches telling them, not parents telling them; it's got to come internally." Skip Gilbert, CEO - US Youth Soccer Association
Download or read book Money Grab written by Timmy Knowstoomuch and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2022-08-16 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.”
