Played this in the car with my 10-year-old and he was hooked right away. The mix of skills and cool stories about famous players really kept him interested (and asking a million questions). It’s fun but also sneaks in some solid advice he actually wants to try at practice. I even picked up a few things myself. If your kid lives and breathes soccer, this is a great way to keep them learning off the field too.

On our way to my son's soccer game practice I played this in the car for my 10-year-old and he was loved it. He asked me to replay a part about one of the players. The book is packed with useful tips, but what really stood out were the stories, he could relate to them and he got genuinely inspired. Later, he tried one of the moves at practice. I recommend this one for your child.

This audiobook does a great job of inspiring young players to dream big while keeping the game exciting and fun. A clever and motivating way that it connects kids to the sport's history is by integrating practical skills, useful strategies, and stories of legendary players. It is a great introduction for young soccer enthusiasts, though I could see where a few examples might feel a bit advanced for the youngest players. Overall, it is a thoughtful and uplifting resource for kids who are anxious to learn and grow in their love for the game.
