Items related to Soccer Dreams: Playing the Seattle Sounders FC Way
Soccer Dreams is an inspiring sports story for young soccer player and fans. It weaves together a fictional tale about a boy from Kenya who moves to Seattle and helps his soccer coach build a winning team, with real-life strategy and teamwork tips from the current MLS Seattle Sounders FC. The book includes profiles and full-color photographs of the Sounders FC players, along with black-and-white illustrations of the story.
Sample of Sounders FC tips: - From the coach: "Give every player a strength that sets them apart from the rest of the group. Everyone has something in the game they enjoy. Find that player's strength, and build around it."
- From the goalkeeper: "You're going to make mistakes, and those mistakes will cause goals. How do you bounce back from that? You have to have confidence in your own ability that you're going to save a lot more than you're going to give up."

From the Author:
Two years ago I was commissioned to write a children's book about the San Diego Chargers football team calledCharge Ahead for San Diego Public TV as part of a community outreach project. That gave me the idea of doing a book about a popular team in my own community. The fact that the Sounders FC players could accomplish so much in their first season, coming from around the world, speaking different languages and being used to different styles of play, was inspiring. What were their teamwork building strategies and how might kids learn from them? I came up with a fictional story about a young soccer player who moves from Kenya to Seattle and helps his coach build a winning team drawing on tips and strategies from the Sounders coach and players. The book includes profiles and photos of the Sounders FC players, along with black-and-white illustrations of the story.
