First as a referee, then as a coach, player, supporter, and parent, she has experienced American soccer from all angles, and shared her experiences on her blog, www.SoccerFamilyStyle.com. Across the United States and through eight different countries, Ms. Keith has watched Americans grow from a small group of fans in the early 90s to stadiums full of supporters today. Passionate Soccer Love is her memoir of stories collected following the rise of US Soccer.
Ms. Keith lives in Des Moines, Iowa, where she tries not to terrify Midwesterners with her brash Jersey Girl attitude. She lives with her husband, Doug and their two kids, Aviva and Raphael, or Wonder Woman and Captain America, as they are known among soccer fans. When she's not watching soccer or writing about soccer, she works on restoring the 125 year old Hatton House in the inner city River Bend neighborhood.ver menos
