Product Description
Parent-tested and approved by the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), this indispensable book by a parent, coach, and doctor shows soccer moms, dads, and coaches how to encourage children to look beyond winning and to turn every game and practice into an opportunity to teach life lessons.
Dr. Vincent Fortanasce applies his expertise in child development to guide parents and coaches on:
Emphasizing fun over performance and morality over victory
Understanding the way kids think and their capabilities at each developmental stage
Controlling their own touchline behavior
Instilling character, conscience, and courage in every player, regardless of talent
In Life Lessons from Soccer, Vincent Fortanasce celebrates the enchantments of soccer as a learning ground for family values and life lessons -- and for becoming closer to your children on and off the field.

Mandatory reading for Soccer parents April 10, 2007

This book was a requirement when our son joined the soccer team. I was irritated but read it anyway just to prove to my son that parents are team players too. Interestingly, it is one of those books that I was glad I read. Few books change your thinking, but this is one of them. Reading it reminds you of what is important in Children's sports and I can assure you it isn't the score. Nearly 6 years later we are still using the book as our guideline of how to behave on the sidelines and in the car on the way home. If you coach, or have kids playing organized sports, you should buy a copy, read it and in a year or two read it again...then make all your team members parents read it too. Your kids will thank you.
