Life lessons from the soccer field, from the bestselling author of Strong is the New Pretty. A bruised shin, a bloody nose. Racing across the field into the arms of your teammates. Leaping high to save a goal. Getting up at dawn to kick ball after ball into the net. Making friends for life. Teaching your younger sister how to dribble. Sharing cupcakes at practice on your birthday. Going to sleep in your jersey. That’s what it means to be fearless, dedicated, confident, resilient, proud, persistent. It doesn’t matter whether you’re 3 or 63––that’s what it means to play like a girl. “Kate T. Parker is my hero. She moves me. The whole world she has created moves me.”––Drew Barrymore
Lelu had been practicing her soccer moves with Buddy for a good three years, and they had both become very good players. Lelu always preferred to practice with Buddy because he was fast and forced her to play her best. Her team, Goal Girls, was tied for first place in their division and while Lelu was nervous, she was also excited about maybe winning the championship. She practiced for hours every day, leading up to game day. On game day, as Lelu walked on to the field, she noticed that many of her teammates were not there. Coach Dale said that five of the girls had caught the flu and would not be able to play. That left them with only five players, and if anyone got hurt, they would have to forfeit the game. Not only could they not get hurt, they also could not rotate out to rest. How could they play their hardest and not get hurt or tired at the same time? The girls were going to have a tough time beating the Crushers, but they were up to the challenge. With a tied score, their excitement turned to disappointment as they watched Ariana fall and grab her ankle in pain.

Soccer, Culture and Society in Spain by Mariann Vaczi Pdf
Spanish soccer is on top of the world, at international and club level, with the best teams and a seemingly endless supply of exciting and stylish players. While the Spanish economy struggles, its soccer flourishes, deeply embedded throughout Spanish social and cultural life. But the relationship between soccer, culture and national identity in Spain is complex. This fascinating, in-depth study shines new light on Spanish soccer by examining the role this sport plays in Basque identity, consolidated in Athletic Club of Bilbao, the century-old soccer club located in the birthplace of Basque nationalism. Athletic Bilbao has a unique player recruitment policy, allowing only Basque-born players or those developed at the youth academies of Basque clubs to play for the team, a policy that rejects the internationalism of contemporary globalised soccer. Despite this, the club has never been relegated from the top division of Spanish football. A particularly tight bond exists between fans, their club and the players, with Athletic representing a beacon of Basque national identity. This book is an ethnography of a soccer culture where origins, nationalism, gender relations, power and passion, lifecycle events and death rituals gain new meanings as they become, below and beyond the playing field, a matter of creative contention and communal affirmation. Based on unique, in-depth ethnographic research, this book investigates how a soccer club and soccer fandom affect the life of a community, interweaving empirical research material with key contemporary themes in the social sciences, and placing the study in the wider context of Spanish political and sporting cultures. Filling a key gap in the literature on contemporary Spain, and on wider soccer cultures, this book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport, anthropology, sociology, political science, or cultural and gender studies.
