•    Ability to enjoy the applications of Physics to the game of soccer and leverage the enjoyment to build interest in 

      further study of Science Although the primary focus is on adolescent soccer players, younger players will enjoy it 

     also as an introductory preparation for how they may approach soccer in later years.

It is never too early to introduce players to the beauty and applications of science. Soccer coaches, soccer parents, and league administrators can also benefit from the book. For this reason, specific paragraphs are included in the book to address the specific interests of these constituent groups. Soccer Moms and Soccer Spouses can particularly benefit from the Chapters on Soccer basics and Case examples, which are presented in a novice-like simplicity format.
