High- Preformance Soccer

High-Preformance Soccer by Paul Caligiuri Chapter 1

 In this book  Paul Caligiuri explains that the only way to get to the world cup is play, play, play. Also he talks about how you have to let the game teach you.  One fact that supports this main idea is that the best players are the ones who aren't able to afford a real ball and the ones who play "street soccer".  Another reason that supports this main idea is Paul says he doesn't hold himself to only having two practices a week.  He'd play every open chance. Finally, the author gives the example that only a couple of hours before the match he would be out in the parking lot kicking around a ball.  And after the game he'd rush home to try a new move he'd seen earlier that day.
