A father-daughter story shaped by soccer

Beginning on a playground in Massapequa in 1972, Patricia Masotto’s story traces her development from an eight-year-old who chooses soccer to a player on high school travel teams and, later, college teams. The account pairs her athletic journey with the role of her father, Peter, who is also her coach and devoted supporter. Its central thread is the connection between a young athlete’s commitment to the game and the family relationship accompanying her progress. A juvenile nonfiction title about one player’s path through organized soccer, it offers a personal perspective on sport, mentorship, and a father’s support.

Book overview

On a playground in Massapequa, Long Island, New York, a willful and talented eight-year-old girl named Pat makes the life-changing decision to become a soccer player. But not only does she play, she excels. This is the story of Patricia Louise Masotto, a superior and gifted athlete who began her promising future in sports in the summer of 1972. Her focus, competitiveness, and determination inspired her fellow teammates as well as her coach, father, and number-one fan, Peter Masotto. Follow the story of father and daughter, coach and player as they begin their journey from Massapequa, on to travel teams in high school, and, finally, to college soccer teams. A life-changing story that will inspire and encourage, Dad's Masterpiece: The Patricia Masotto Story is a testament to the life of a young woman's passion for the game and her father's unending love for his daughter. About the author: Jeffrey M. Clark's twenty-year writing career includes speeches, corporate correspondence, and political campaign material. While assigned to write an acceptance speech for Peter Masotto, Mr. Clark became inspired by Pat's story and felt compelled to write an account of her amazing life.

 

Mr. Clark lives in Mineola, New York with his wife, Maureen, and their six children. The Patricia Masotto Story is his first published book.
