Summary
Relentless: The Untold Story of Soccer’s Rise in America
Soccer players may get all the glory, but behind every great player is a great coach. And behind every great coach today stands a deep fraternity who dedicated decades to supporting soccer’s long climb from obscurity to become one of the major sports in America.
It was an uphill battle, fought persistently and creatively to overcome a public perception of soccer as “foreign,” “aloof,” “snobby,” or simply “odd.”
