Every
person on this planet is ultimately required to learn about life from another
human being, and somebody inspires us all in this life time one way or the
other.
The first few years of our being is all about
learning the basics and our habits and behavior become more sophisticated and
refined, as we grow older.
This continuous learning process is an inevitable
part of our existence and it's through the same system that our character and
quality is shaped indiscriminately.
Most people look up to their parents or siblings
for inspiration, but not me!
Being the only child of workaholic parents, I had
to look for this motivation elsewhere.
I found mine in a different kind of family.
I discovered my inspiration in football!
From playing plastic balls in narrow alleys of my
old neighborhood in Tehran, to reporting the game from behind the media desks of
the world cup, it all has been one enormous occurrence that I will gladly share
with you here.
Hope you enjoy these epigrammatic, yet, avid
accounts as much as I have.
"Some people believe that football
is a matter of life and death. I am very disappointed with that attitude. I
can assure you that it is much, much more important than that." -
Bill Shankly
***
No sport has experienced such a tremendous growth in
popularity in the U.S. in the past few years as soccer. Soccer is now played
everywhere around the globe.
This book has been written to present the experience of a man over the
years.
The knowledge gained has been and will continue to be tested as new ideas
emerge and changes occur.
Nader is the maker of his own fortune.
Soccer is an intriguing game.
There is nothing like an exciting run, a great feint, an accurate pass, a
good shot, a brilliant save or a dazzling goal...
The goal of this book is to provide you with verbal and visual imagery to
recall and adopt.
I strongly believe that the author has scored on all accounts.
