Customer Reviews:
» Very good book. If your interested in football (i.e. soccer) this covers everything. There are some slow parts but not that many and that could be attributed to not growing up with the sport. Great re...
» I've read a lot of books about sports in my relatively short time on this planet and while I have really enjoyed many of them and reread a few multiple times, this was definitely the first sports-rela...
» This is amazing, wide ranging work that tells the story of football (soccer) and places it in the social context of the times. It is a dense and scholarly work which covers a lot of world history and ...
» I found this book to be phenomenal. I must admit that I am a rather new prosylyte to "futbol" or soccer as we call it here in the States. I really new nothing about the history of the sport and very...

Customer Reviews:
» I found the book to be useful in explaining the types of plays, and the theory behind the plays. It also helped me learn the names and functions of the positions. However, that doesn't translate to be...
» My interest in football would come and go, ebbing mostly because it was hard to keep up with the lingo the announcers and commentators kept slinging around. Howie explains positions, formation, strate...

» The book really goes over every part of football, ranging from college to the NFL. Gives information about the rules and includes pictures of referee calls. Would definitely recommend this book for ...

Customer Reviews:
» I have recently become a fan of European soccer and heard Chuck Culpepper promoting his book on World Soccer Daily. It peaked my interest and I decided to check it out. The book was amazingly funny!...
» Bloody Confused is a well written autobiography of what the English Premier League is all about, from an American's point of view. It explains the various concurrent competitions, and the real mind-s...
» I bought this book because i thought it was going to be like "Fever Pitch". At first the author goes on to explain about american sports, as i thought he was just trying to make his point. Throughout...
» Culpepper's aim in this text is to convince people who don't know anything about the world of international soccer that it's a great product, and worthy of an American's time. The problem is, unfortu...
» Bloody Confused is a typical American approach to the World's Best Sport. Culpepper constantly repeats himself while "explaining" to US readers what the rest of the world understands with ease. Why ...

Customer Reviews:
» Quick and easy to read. Full of short stories that help athletes gain perspective into building a stronger mental game.
» Don't be fooled, this book isn't just for athletes. The author includes dozens of quotations and bits of wisdom from various top performers. The book is divided into quick, readable chapters (each abo...
» If you want to read an inspiring book on the power of the mind in sports, then this book is for you. It is not too packed with information, but it underlines many of the important points in mental coa...
» a solid read, but i was expecting a book that got more into the intricacies of sports psychology, but this book seems to focus more on your thinking off the court then on it.
» I have read several books on the mental game in sports and this is by far the best. I work with collegiate and professional athletes and recommend this so often that Gary Mack should send me a commis...

Customer Reviews:
» I could write another BOOK as to why this tome should NEVER have been written.
For all those who understand my title caption of the review,no more needs to say. For the USian uninitiated to wor...
» _How Soccer Explains the World_ is an unfortunately misleading title; rather than explain the world, Foer uses soccer as a metaphor for globalization and the various reactions of parts of the world to...
» This was a well written book regarding soccer in the global community. I would encourage anyone who enjoys the game to read this interesting perspective on how soccer is influenced by religion and rac...
» Franklin Foer is definitely onto something. Indeed soccer might ultimately explain the world. Unfortunately the National Best Seller he has written, "How Soccer Explains the World", does not. Yet F...
» Overall a pretty interesting look at the world. The author looks at how different countries treat soccer, and what that says about their culture. Due to the fact that soccer is a pretty much univers...

Customer Reviews:
» This book went through various questions about succeeding in life and listed all the responses from each coach. It was interesting but somewhat repetitive in that many said basically the same thing. ...
» A thoroughly enjoyable and motivating read. This is a remarkable collection of exclusive interviews with the best American sports coaches of the last 40 years. The author has packed a voluminous am...

» Bought this book for my entire girls U8 team.
Although they were excited this turned out to be difficult for them to read.
The youngest reading level would probably be 3rd grade unless you...

Customer Reviews:
» This book is so good, it held my interest more than any of the Harry Potter books!
» I read this book for the first time in 5th grade I think, and since then I've read it at least twice more. It's a great story about a boy who lives in Florida, with a brother who teases him and other ...
» My ten-year old son absolutely loved this book. It is full of teen angst, and sports-related action; however, the subject matter is very heavy and can be somewhat disturbing. The blurb on the back of ...
