When talking to a fellow and respected grassroots coach about my intent to write this book and share my story, he said "I wish there had been something like that around when I started." That was all the inspiration that I needed. Give yourself the permission to pause to read my story. I hope that it inspires and influences you. Ultimately, enjoy the experience and the privilege of developing the intelligent young footballer.
