international soccer star but a celebrity who visited and dined
with kings and presidents? Where did the passion that fueled his
success originate? This book examines the life of Pele to find the
answers. Pele is not simply an extraordinarily talented athlete who
achieved incredible success on the soccer field; his performances
inspired millions of soccer fans as well as individuals outside the
sport around the world. During the peak of his career, Pele was
arguably the most famous person in the world-at a time when there
was no Internet or social media to help build sweeping
international awareness of a pop star. This work is the most
up-to-date examination of Pele's life, covering his personal
history from childhood, his star-studded career as a multi-time
World Cup champion playing for Brazil, his experiences in the
United States playing for the New York Cosmos, as well as Pele's
more recent, current, and future activities as ambassador for
Brazil when it hosts the World Cup in 2014 and the Summer Olympics
in 2016. All readers-ranging from the completely uninitiated who do
not even recognize Pele's name, to die-hard soccer fans and
players-will gain a full appreciation of the greatest soccer player
of all time. Provides detailed information about Pele's life and
amazing career that reveals the unique mindset that was
instrumental to his success, allowing readers to fully appreciate
how special and inspirational this athlete's accomplishments were
Supplies insights into how Pele singlehandedly brought more
