    October 30, 2008: 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!
