Summary: Dare to Dream
Comment: I coach a U14 Girls Travel soccer team and as a motivating practice, I watched this movie with my team and they loved it! I was a bit surprised at the editing, as there were a few moments of bad language that I wouldn't necessarily let younger kids hear, but other than that, and if you don't really care, the video was raw and honest and perfect for inspriring girl athletes.

Summary: Dare to Dream
Comment: Inspirational DVD. First bought it for my young granddaughter. As she opened it, my 85 years young mother expressed an interest in the story. Sent her the DVD as well. Apparently it was perfect timing as my mother was dispirited as a result of the death of her sole mate and husband of many years. Boosted her spirits and reminded her of her own sense of adventure and love of life. Highly recommend the DVD.

Play soccer like a girl!!!!

Summary: This One's a Score
Comment: I originally saw this documentary on HBO over a year ago. After watching it, I knew I had to get it on DVD for my daughter for Christmas this year. A truly inspirational story for anyone, but especially for young women, this story of the USA Women's Soccer Team shows their rise from obscurity to glory. My daughter was so captivated by the emotional and educational aspects of the Team's struggle to achieve validation, notoriety and greatness in the historically male centric American sports scene, that she has already planned to have her entire soccer team over to our house for a group viewing to inspire them for the upcoming season.

Summary: Great documentary that shows the struggles, growth & popularity of women's soccer in the US
Comment: The first time I saw this film was last month when I was flying home on Delta Airlines and I thought it was great. I have a 13-year old daughter who currently plays club soccer, so I've become an avid fan of the sport in recent years. Dare to Dream is an HBO documentary shows how the women's soccer movement started in the US in the late 1980s, and how some of the original players from the 1991 World Cup team made such significant contributions to the sport up until their retirement in December, 2004.

I could easily write a lengthy review, but I won't. Instead, anyone that has an interest in soccer, especially youth soccer, should watch. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
