Perspectives from the Pitch: A Basic Guide to Understanding Soccer Commands and Appreciating How They Apply to Life - Paperback

What can soccer teach us about life?

A lot more than you might think. In Perspectives from the Pitch, Lou Roth highlights and unpacks the mystique of some of the most common coaching instructions shouted from the sidelines - like "Turn!" "Play to Feet!" and "Keep it Moving!" In each chapter he gives an easy-to-understand description of a common soccer prompt, and how theses simple commands hold powerful lessons for decision-making, resilience, and personal growth.
