This is a collection of anecdotes collected over a thirty year period. It chronicles the life of the author as a soccer coach, both on and off the pitch. Some of the stories are humorous, some are odd, and others are just plain weird. The selection of essays in this book depict the coach's relationships with referees, parents, players and other coaches. From the player with Tourette's to the one-armed goalkeeper, these are but a few of the numerous stories the author has to tell. Bales resides in Fort Worth, Texas and has been a soccer coach for more than thirty years. He has coached at both the club level and school ball. His coaching style is unique, if not absolutely bizarre. Throughout his tenure as a coach, Bales has attempted to instill a love of the game in his players. He makes fun a top priority while still emphasizing competitiveness.
