Surviving Soccer: The Chill Parent's Guide to Carpools, Calendars, Coaches, Clubs, and Corner Kicks - Karen Scholl - Triumph Books (IL)

''Youth soccer is a $3 billion dollar-a-year industry serving over 6 million kids. And their 12 million or so parents? They play to win. Yet, books for soccer parents fall into just two categories: 1) how to raise a World-Cup-level soccer player: and 2) why you're doing a terrible job raising a World-Cup-level soccer player. What's missing, until now, is a book about how hilarious it is. Hilarious in an if-you-don't-laugh-you'll-cry sort of way. Instead of telling parents how they need to change the way they think, talk, walk, eat, sleep, and breathe, Karen Scholl's SURVIVING SOCCER: A CHILL PARENT'S GUIDE TO CARPOOLS, CALENDARS, COACHES, CLUBS, AND CORNER KICKS, is the gentle nudge in the ribs these parents need to release the breath they don't even realize they're holding. This visually interesting satirical guide will deliver comic relief to millions of devoted, frenzied, exhausted parents.'' -- Provided by publisher.
