Goalkeepers have their own little style. Each one will exhibit some kind of flare to her skills. The important part is that the base technique is consistent across the board for all goalkeepers. With a few little tweeks here and there, you can get your goalkeeper to a level of play that will make her and your team successful. Sometimes to fix a technique requires trying an alternative in teaching or outside the box thinking for drills and techniques to make that minor tweek.
 In this book you will learn how to fix your goalkeeper's skill by using things around your house, or breaking down a skill enough that your goalkeeper will have confidence when she needs to put it all together. This book was put together from years of coaching and years of thinking of drills and approaches outside of the box for all types of goalkeepers. You can use these ideas on any skilled goalkeeper. With some hard work and outside the box thinking you will arm your goalkeeper with the skills to succeed. Are you ready to get to work?

Who watched her children when she trained? How did she get back in shape after having a baby? How much did she train when she was pregnant? And what about Valerie Still, did she train when she was pregant? Is it true that one of the U.S. Women Soccer team members brought her baby on the road with the team when they were training for the 1996 Olympics? And then Powe-Allred realized that if these women wanted to know how everybody else coped, well... so would the rest of us. As Valerie Still herself said, "There ought to be a club for female athletes who are mothers." 
That's what this book is, the locker room banter of a club for mothers. "Here's what happened to me and how I coped with it."

Tae Kwon Do for Women is intended to correct that problem. Beginner, intermediate and advanced practitioners will all find helpful information. The book covers principles, techniques and drills for the Tae Kwon Do practitioner, written with women specifically in mind. The book includes more than 400 photographs and a complete resource directory.

While fencing was once the prerogative of men alone - by tradition and by choice - fencing has involved into a sport that is no longer gender exclusive. It is a game that may be mastered by anyone. Today, women play an important and equal role in fencing, and yet, there has never been a volume specifically addressing the issue of women as fencing entities.
