Our friends at Ysc Academy granted us a copy of American Soccer Nation by their very own Mark Franek.

The book provides an enlightening walk through the Beautiful Game, from inception, adaptation, challenges, and development in the United States. Mark's unique perspective as an educator for YSC gives a fresh take on the otherwise downtrodden view of American Soccer. As we dive into this year's World Cup, generating a growing interest in the game, there is hope yet for the soccer in America.

Whether you are an established fan, or someone looking to get in on the ground level, this book is a must read for all.
