I found this book to be very informative as well as easy to read. The author has many great insights into this sport as well as useful information for any coach, soccer parent or athlete. The stories of her personal experiences with her teams were very interesting and entertaining. The drills, schedules, team building activities and Goalkeeping chapter were all extremely helpful! I would highly reccommend "Coaching Girl's Soccer Successfully" to anyone involved in the soccer world. Both the author's knowledge and passion for the game of soccer show through in this wonderful book!

This book is not only for the coach but the player as well. The passion that is expressed in this book will clearly motivate coach and player to rise to the highest level. I'm giving this book to my niece so it will help her understand the philosophy behind coaching. She will learn life values, make long lasting friendships, and realize anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Great Book!!!!

I played soccer growing up!I have coached youth soccer ages 3-10 and wanted to get ideas about moving up to coach teenagers. I learned so much reading this book-tactical,drills and team building! I really enjoyed the personal stories about the authors' team! I especially liked the one about "Jared's Wig".I even had my 13 year old read some of the stories and look at the drills!She really enjoyed the stories and was looking for heading drills and found some great ones she really liked, and great passing and receiving drills! I went ahead and ordered 2 of these books from Amazon since I got free shipping if I did, and gave one to my daughters soccer coach as a Gift and he really thought it was awesome!I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about the game of Soccer and Coaching it!

This book is invaluable for every coach, player and parent. Not only is it informative from a technical and tactical standpoint, but it also teaches values that are important off the field (committment to your teammates, respect for others and building relationships). I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the team experiences and team building exercises. I highly recommend this book to all sports enthusiasts!
This is an excellent book! Helpful to any coach, thorough and an easy read October 31, 2008

I felt this book was very informative, interesting and clearly written. I think it would be a great book for any soccer coach to own, and will be a great reference for years to come.
The author clearly knows her subject and imparts many solid, basic facts and techniques that helped me tremendously.
