I received the book it a short amount of time, and it was great to open and find the book is an autographed copy. It is in great condition, and I am very pleased with my order.The Vision Of A Champion: Advice And Inspiration From The World's Most Successful Women's Soccer Coach

The Vision of a Champion

This is a wonderful book about soccer and training, and the mental toughness girls possess that will help them all through life. This book will also help any parent who struggles with the proper involvement level with a soccer-daughter, and the reinforcement needed to help make the correct choices as she evolves with the game of soccer.

This book also gives extraordinary attention to the evolution of leadership roles for females, and the developement of these leadership skills in all young women.

There were hundreds of times i wanted to read passsages or paragraphs to each of my soccer-daughters after i was brought to near tears by the passages of empowerment and success for female athletes.

Awesome

This is a great book for the beginner and the advanced coach and I think it would serve parents and athletics as well.

Simply put a wonderful insight into the game of soccer.

The man's record says it all...

This book is well written and presents ideas for all level of player from rec through ODP and beyond. I recommend every coach who wants to improve read the book. Womens coaches benefit the most in light of Coach Dorrance's experience and well known success.
In the book you'll get advice (to varying extents) on just about every aspect of the game. This book is not written toward coaches, but to players. If you read the book as a set of guidlines for players, you'll be able to gather some insight about coaching and driving women to higher competitive levels. Great book.

Essential Reading

If you coach, this is a must read. If you coach women, this should already be on your shelf. If you coach womens soccer, I'm sure you've read it a dozen times. But if you're a parent or a player you may have missed this one. Dorrance is arguably the best in the business regardless of sport and there's not one thing he's touched that is shoddy. This book is a must-read, and I recommend you follow it up with "The Man Watching".
