I continue to love the game of soccer today the same way I did when I was 7. I love watching and teaching young players the game. I created soccernovo.com to share what I know about the game and provide a platform so other parents can learn more about youth soccer in the U.S. I also authored an eBook 'Soccer Coach Made Simple'.  Learn more about Beau.
