This book offers invaluable insights into the author's personal experience and provides comprehensive instruction for making the most of the soccer game. Claudio Reyna examines the complexities and demands of the sport and the commitment required to play and coach the game at the highest level. This book is part autobiography, part inside story, part social commentary and part advanced instructional guide. These elements all flow together for not only a better understanding and appreciation of the author, but a richer and deeper grasp of soccer's unique appeal. """"As one of the most gifted players in U.S. soccer history and national team captain, Claudio Reyna has helped the team to be more successful and competitive internationally. Through his professional experiences in Germany, Scotland, and England, he's become a great pro and a wonderful student of the game. "More Than Goals" is a special look at what motivates this great player and how he's developed his skills. I highly recommend this book to all soccer enthusiasts.
