Thank you to Coach Mike for his review of How To Coach Girls

My wife suggested I coach my little ones U10 girls recreational soccer team since I am always out there helping her coaches in the past. I have played as a youth, coached middle school and refereed. We did a spring league at our church to help kids learn the sport together so we are coaching together in our city league. I saw your book and bought it right away. An awesome book with great points that opened my eyes up to be better at coaching with girls. I am even going to use some of the points tonight in our first team meeting! I will be having this book with me the whole season.

Regards
Mike B.
