Samenvatting:

In May 2008 Coach Nick Roberts took over as the new Head Men's Soccer Coach at Urbana University in Ohio. In the previous 12 months, the team had three head coaches with just four wins and the team was in disarray. Roberts knew there was a tough road ahead.

March 2012: after four seasons, moving to the NCAA D II level, significant improvement in opponents and entering the new Great Midwest Athletic Conference, the team began the 2012 season seeking its first conference title.

This book follows the nine-month journey of a collegiate team, the recruiting, the pre-season, the relationships between coaches and players, the wins and losses, maintaining academics and the handling of student athletes not only on the soccer field but in life in the quest to win soccer games and compete for a conference championship.
