Description
Josh and his travel league soccer teammates are playing together for the first time sometimes in new positions they're not used to. They're having trouble coming together as a successful team. In fact, they can't seem to win a single game. Discouraged, Josh is almost ready to go back to his old team.
But then he hears how the struggling 1999 United States Women's World Cup team built a winning team by using team-building exercises. Would an approach like that help the United become champions?
