Coach Dan Blank once again over-delivers for readers with another essential how-to book for college-bound soccer players. Written in the same plainspoken tone that shot Soccer iQ to best-seller status, ROOKIE is more conversation than book. It gives rising college freshmen a revealing preview of life as a college soccer player and provides them with a wealth of survival tips for making the most of their debut seasons.ROOKIE covers topics that incoming freshmen will be starved to learn, including a remarkably clear cut strategy for earning playing time.
