Description
What do you do when someone takes all the fun out of playing the game?
When Louise joins her friend's soccer team, she finds the coach thinks winning is everything. But the team shows the coach that winning isn't as important as letting everyone play the game.
Who's A Soccer Player is a story about kids who know the true value of sport, and who teach that value to the adults around them.
