WUSA Girl's Guide to Soccer Life ANNOTATION
Women's United Soccer Association players provide insights and advice about soccer and life, based on their experiences on and off the field.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Women's United Soccer Association is the professional organization for women's pro soccer. It is committed to promoting the game and increasing its visibility nationally. Its board is comprised of highly visible active players who are helping propel women's soccer to a position of growing prominence today. The WUSA season is April ﾽ August and is televised each week on the PAX network.
The WUSA Girl's Guide to Soccer Life is written for girls ages 8-16 (and their parents). Author Mia Hamm and numerous other players provide insights into their on and off the field experiences. They cover such topics as: Getting Started in the Game; Improving Your Game; Personal Development (hair and makeup, dress and style, the opposite sex); Balancing School and Sports; Dealing with Roadblocks and Setbacks; Maintaining the Edge, Rituals and Superstitions; Life Off the Field.
The book is timed to publish just prior to the FIFA Women's World Cup, September 23-October 11, in China. This may result in a rematch of the famous U.S. win in the 1999 World Cup-the event that created significant national attention for women's soccer. The book will also coincide with the girls middle school soccer season that plays in October and November.
