Publisher's Synopsis
For every parent or carer who heard the words "I want to play football" from their daughter, and didn't know where to start, this book is for you. This book is also for you, if your daughter is already in the Scottish Football system and you need advice you can trust on what to do next or how you can help your daughter succeed.
Written from the parents' perspective, and full of unbiased advice from how the club system works, dealing with injuries, what to expect from your coaches and so much more, this book aims to be the only book you will ever need as you navigate through Scottish Youth Football for girls. The book includes sections on the history of the league, moving to elite talent development programs, nutrition, mental health, what to do after football, volunteering and so much more, all from the perspective of you the parent. Written by Stephen Anderson, a parent of a budding goalkeeper and seven-year veteran/parent in the girl's football system in Scotland, Stephen has collated his experience, advice from coaches and players at all levels and most importantly other parents to produce this book which hopefully will prove to be the only book you will ever need to consult when you have a question about your daughters next steps, the club system or Scottish Girl's Football in general.
