Acknowledgments

So many wonderful people were involved in the making of this book, many without even realizing it. To the amazing network of soccer families who have spent countless hours with me carpooling, feeding, and cheering on our children together—I couldn’t have written this story without you. To my dear author friends, Jennifer Hoopes, TG Wolff, Rhenna Morgan, and Juliette Cross, thank you for continually helping me keep my chin up and head on straight. To the amazing staff at Entangled, thank you, as always, for all that you do.

But the two individuals who truly inspired this book were my sons. Thank you both for not only allowing me to share in your passion for soccer, but also motivating me to be the best mom I can be. I love you both to the moon and back.
