, they are just soccer players,” he said. “They are not American soccer players that played a role on the field. They are guys that play the game. It resembles much more, that foreign flare. The soccer is prettier.”To understand the initial playbook, Dohrmann rewinds the game clock to Torrance, California, in 1962, to a meeting to hash out the formation of the American Youth Soccer Organization.
As far as the style of play, coaches were normally fathers who didn’t truly know the finer points of the game, or British trainers with a brutish approach. “This was a monster development. This is what exists in Argentina, Spain and Brazil, really everywhere. We just didn’t have that,” said Dohrmann, adding that the academies took players regardless of their financial situation, killing the “pay to play” model.
In the book, Dohrmann explains how coach Anson Dorrance, who founded the women’s soccer program at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, in 1979, created a winning culture and fierce play that became the blueprint for women’s college soccer — and thus the international gold standard. He also developed major female talent such a Mia Hamm, who led the US team to World Cup Championships in 1991 and 1999, as well as gold medals in 1996 and 2004.
