Must read

Incredible content. A must read if you follow soccer in America. Unfortunatley very difficult to listen to. Narration is monotone, robotic, and soft spoken as if he is in a cubicle in a library trying not to disturb anyone.

Good Book by Great Coach With Vibrant Voice Read by a Non-Coach With Sleepy Voice

Excellent Book!
Arena’s story is at the heart of a key era in the history of the sport’s development. One star deducted because he didn’t take time to read it to us himself. One of Arena’s great legacies is that east coast voice rising up on American soil to become a world class coach in a sport where none seemed to exist on that stage before him and Bob Bradley. I mean, fellow Long Islander John McEnroe read his own book.And if you write a book you expect others to read can’t you take the time to read it to us yourself.
Love Bruce Arena. Love this book. But Coach—next time do us the courtesy of narrating your own story yourself, please.

More a memoir than a condemnation of USS

The narrator was not good, would have preferred Bruce Arena's long island inflection. The stories told are fantastic, great insight.

Very insightful

A biography of Bruce Arena that covers his whole career while giving the reader insight into what is right and what is wrong with US soccer. The reader may not have had Bruce's trademark New York accent but he did a good job nonetheless. I could have done without some of the foul language, especially one or two f-bombs but thankfully it wasn't too pervasive.

Misleading Title but still a good read

In reality this book is a biography for Bruce. Only the last two chapters talk about changes he believes need to be made to US soccer to make us more competitive. The rest walks you through his early career as a lacrosse player and then coach.

It details how he got into coaching soccer and his description of his international experiences is very interesting. Having attended a few national coaching schools it’s no mystery to me why we are behind, the training is below standard and focuses too much on someone’s “one true way of coaching”.

Worth the read but the title is less than accurate.
