Trade Review“If you ask me when I really knew I wanted to be a goalkeeper, I trace it to when Tim Mulqueen started training me at a New Jersey soccer camp when I was 12 years old… [The Complete Soccer Goalkeeper] is more than a series of exercises: It delves into all the aspects of the position and the coach–player relationship… And that’s what makes this book so valuable to the future of goalkeepers—it speaks to both the player and the coach.”
Tim Howard-- U.S. Soccer Men's National Team, Everton Football Club
"The Complete Soccer Goalkeeper is a must-have for goalkeepers and their coaches. From tactics to strategies, Mulqueen and Woitalla cover it all."
