2016/17 - The Year in Women's Soccer

Description

Prost Publishing, a division of Prost Amerika, is proud to present its first ever Women's Soccer Yearbook. The format of a Yearbook is popular in soccer across the globe and Prost is now bringing the format of a collectible to North America with the first ever Yearbook entirely dedicated to Women's Soccer. Interest in women's soccer is higher than ever in North America but few have truly covered the heart and soul of an entire year. In the book's first year we are delighted that the Foreword is written by BBC Women's Player of the Year, Kim Little, who is also the all-time NWSL record goalscorer. Joining Prost Amerika's team of soccer beat writers are some of the nation's top Women's Soccer writers, partnering to produce the inaugural version of what will become an annual publication. Inside you can read about the best players, the biggest games, the Olympic and league champions and the memorable events of 2016. The book will cover the highs and lows of the season including the USWNT's doomed quest for Olympic Gold in Rio to the winners of the NWSL Final. There are player profiles on some of the top internationals as well as the moments and controversies that had people talking about Women's Soccer across the world. There are chapters on retiring USWNT legends Hope Solo and Heather O'Reilly. You can also get great advice on how to become a Women's Soccer journalist or photographer. Special guest writers include Jamie Trecker, the first soccer columnist on ESPN.com who writes on Women's Soccer in the Media and Dan Wiersema of the American Outlaws. The book also contains color photographs from Prost Amerika's beat photographers across North America.
