Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. ix, [1], 275, [1] pages. Source Notes. Some DJ soiling noted. Inscribed on the title page. Inscription reads To the Bernstein Family, with great affection and appreciation. Jim Haner. The author has a distinctive signature. The author is an investigative journalist, Jim Haner was part of a Miami Herald team that won the Pulitzer Prize Public Service Medal for reports on the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew. The hurricane struck Florida in 1992 and, until Hurricane Katrina in 2005, remained the most destructive storm in American history. Haner, who has worked on several major papers, has also covered politics, organized crime, and other subjects. Another part of his life, however, is occupied by the joys of coaching kids' soccer. In Soccerhead: An Accidental Journey into the Heart of the American Game, Haner explains how his experience coaching youth soccer teams inspired his growing passion for the game. When he first began coaching a team of six-year-olds, Haner knew little about soccer, but "after just a couple of nights on the practice field with my squad of little hellions," he writes, "I was hopelessly sucked in." Soccerhead intersperses accounts of Haner's adventures with chapters that detail the history and cultural contexts of a game loved the world over. Critics praised Soccerhead for its wealth of information and its unabashed enthusiasm for the game. Soccerhead hurls the reader into the world of youth soccer: Issues of parenting, gender, and the nature of obsession ricochet through the text. But the real payoff here is Haner, whose intoxicating voice and fierce insights make for a wild ride. A Youth Soccer Coach's Investigation Into The Origins of Soccermainia. On July 10, 1999, 100,000 Americans, mostly women, did something they had not done before, at least not in such numbers. They showed up to watch a soccer match. Their attendance at the 1999 Women's World Cup Final took the world by surprise, forcing it to recognize much about itself that it had been in denial of for quite some time. Who were these soccer fans? Where had they come from? Why had no one noticed them before? Award winning journalist Jim Haner asks these questions, and others, as he sets off in search of the origins of the American passion for soccer, uncovering the game's roots in an early industrial Northeast and following them up through the transcontinental suburban present. But Haner is by no means a passive historian of the game; he is the coach of the Hornets, a rag-tag team of ten nine-year-old boys and one determined little girl. Haner provides us with an intimate view of his team's struggles and successes over the course of season, and of his own transformation from reluctant soccer dad to authentic 'soccerhead'. Seamlessly weaving personal and historical narrative threads, Soccerhead is both an enticing memoir and a cultural inquiry of the first-order--enlightening, entertaining, and informative--shedding new light on a little known chapter of American history.

Seamlessly weaving personal and historical narrative threads, Soccerhead is both an enticing memoir and a cultural inquiry of the first-order--enlightening, entertaining, and informative--shedding new light on a little known chapter of American history. This is a youth soccer coach's investigation into the origins of soccermania. Before his son enlisted for a season of Youth Soccer at the neighborhood Boys and Girls Club in College Park, Maryland, Jim Haner was just your typical white, middle-class, suburban father. And as an award-winning journalist for The Sun (Baltimore), he was more likely to write about scoundrels than soccer. But his son caught the bug, and before long, Haner was giving pep talks to nine-year-olds in shin guards and cleats and the game had become an all-consuming obsession. Digging deep into the historical record, Haner sets out to document the soccer craze from the bottom up, tracing the rises and falls in the game's popularity in the decades since "Mob Ball" fever was spread by the influx of immigrants on our shores, up to the current wave of "soccermania." The result is a rollicking and timely read. Keir Graff, writing in Booklist, admired Haner's humor and feeling for the game, and described Soccerhead as "one hell of a good book." Jim Haner's book is a delight, not just reported and observed but lived and felt. It shows how soccer has invaded America's soul from the playgrounds up, just as Haner learned everything he needs to know about, and the sports, from kids. By turns laugh-out-loud funny, wise, and irreverent, "[Haner's] enthusiasm and good humor is infectious, the history is genuinely interesting, and anyone who doubts that soccer games between nine-year-olds can be chronicled with the same verve and intensity of professional or collegiate sports need look no further . . . a must-read for people puzzled by soccer's popularity."
