The Tom Soehn Reading List

Guide

DC United skipper Tom Soehn is probably not having a good morning...or season for that matter. After giving up 3 points to Toronto last night I'm sure he's got a lot on his mind, what with many of the American soccerati observing a death watch for his career today.

That's got to be stressful and when I'm stressed out I like to get stuck into a good book. Perhaps escaping into the pages of a good self-help tome would help him deal with the bad vibes that are echoing around the halls of RFK stadium right now. Here's a few suggestions:

-The Moving Survival Guide by Martha Page
-
Necessary Losses: The Loves, Illusions, Dependencies, and Impossible Expectations That All of Us Have to Give Up in Order to Grow by Judith Viorst
-Good Night Washington, D.C. by Adam Gamble
-Complete Conditioning for Soccer by Sigi Schmid

Now with that last one I can't say that I'm convinced that it is better conditioning that United need --although giving up 3 goals in the last 9 minutes against Chivas USA last weekend might build a case for it-- but it is written by Sigi Schmid who seems to be doing something right this season.

Anybody see the ridiculous irony of a conditioning book being authored by Sigi (I ATE ALL THE PIES, AND EVERYTHING ELSE, FOR THAT MATTER) Schmid? That's like getting a book on hairstyles by Don King.

I think the book "Crucial Conversations" might be best considering the one coming up most likely be.
