Catch Them Being Good: Everything You Need to Know to Successfully Coach GirlsThis guide to coaching female athletes of all ages shows how to build a team and provides invaluable advice on the differences between coaching males and females.

Filled with stories about the Olympic and World Cup championship teams, this useful handbook is infused throughout with DiCicco's philosophy that at every level playing soccer (or any sport) is about "playing hard, playing fair, playing to win, and having fun." |
