They were very much alike, these two young coders.Both were passionate about soccer, both loved technology, and both—like many kids—dreamed of combining their interests to create something amazing.Recently, these two young coders reunited at a coding competition.They were still very much alike.Both were enthusiastic about technology, both had a deep love for soccer. and both, it turned out, had used the same class in school to kickstart their journey into programming.But there was a difference. One of them was still experimenting with basic coding projects. The other had developed a soccer analytics app and was interning at a tech company focused on sports technology.What Made The DifferenceHave you ever wondered, as I have, what makes this kind of difference in kids' lives? It isn’t always natural talent or early exposure to technology. It isn’t that one child has more potential or ambition than the other.The difference lies in what each child knows and how they apply that knowledge.And that is why I am writing to you and to parents like you about "Learn Python through Soccer" by Bob Mather. For that is the whole purpose of this book: To give its readers the knowledge they need to excel in coding by connecting it to their passion for soccer.A Book Unlike Any Other"Learn Python through Soccer" is a unique guide. It’s designed for young learners who want to explore the world of programming through the lens of their favorite sport. Each chapter is carefully crafted by an expert who understands how to make coding fun and relevant for kids.Knowledge Is PowerRight now, my kid is reading a chapter on creating a soccer game simulation with Python. It combines easy-to-follow instructions with practical examples and fun projects. Every aspect of coding is covered, from simple algorithms and debugging to designing interactive applications.And there are sections filled with valuable information that’s useful to your child. Chapters on computational thinking, logical reasoning, and project-based learning help them become smarter, more confident coders. Whether they are just starting or looking to enhance their skills, "Learn Python through Soccer" has something for everyone.An Investment In Your Child's FutureI cannot promise you that success will be instantly yours if your child reads "Learn Python through Soccer."
