"Arena depicts the human side of managing elite athletes... [US soccer] fans will definitely want to pick this up." -- Publishers Weekly, Arena depicts the human side of managing elite athletes... [US soccer] fans will definitely want to pick this up.
Synopsis
Outspoken, honest, game changing--ultimate soccer insider and legendary coach Bruce Arena looks back on an extraordinary career, and forward to what the United States needs to do to compete successfully on the world stage once again. "Arena depicts the human side of managing elite athletes.... US soccer] fans will definitely want to pick this up."-- Publishers Weekly At around 8:37 p.m. EST on October 10, 2017, an unheralded Trinidadian right back, Alvin Jones, received possession of the football in a World Cup qualifier against the United States. Looking up, he took one touch and unleashed an extraordinary shot toward the American goal. No one in the stadium--least of all US coach Bruce Arena, standing ten yards away on the touchline--thought the ball would hit the back of the net. But hit the back of the net it did. And so, on that fateful muggy night at Ato Boldon Stadium, in Trinidad, Alvin Jones doomed the United States to miss the World Cup for the first time in thirty-two years. Cue hand-wringing and moans of pain from the legions of US Men's National Team fans. With that ultimate 2-1 defeat and ouster from the World Cup, American soccer realized it had to take a long, hard look at itself. In What's Wrong with US?, Bruce Arena begins that painful but much-needed process. Arena has won everything there is to win in sports, including college championships and Major League Soccer triumphs--he has even excelled as a coach of lacrosse, his first passion. His 2002 World Cup soccer team came a non-called handball away from the semifinals; and, having worked with the likes of David Beckham, Landon Donovan, and Christian Pulisic, he has had a storied life as a coach. Now, though, it's time to take stock and have an honest discussion about what's wrong with soccer in the United States. Arena casts his eye on recruiting, coaching, the structure of Major League Soccer, the integration of overseas players, and the role of money in the modern game. He looks back at the 2018 qualifying campaign, reveals what went wrong, and looks forward to a new way of soccer in America., Outspoken, honest, game changing--ultimate soccer insider and legendary coach Bruce Arena looks back on an extraordinary career, and forward to what the United States needs to do to compete successfully on the world stage once again.

Offering a framework for reform, Bruce Arena's book will set a benchmark by which changes to the game he loves will be judged-and along the way he recounts a life in sports like no other.
