During his twenty-year career, he was heralded as an international treasure, and his accomplishments on the field proved to be pure magic: an unprecedented three World Cup championships and the all-time scoring record, with 1,282 goals. Since retiring, he has traveled the world as soccer's global ambassador, relentlessly promoting the positive influences soccer can have to transform young men and women, struggling communities, even entire nations. Now, for the first time, the legendary star and humanitarian explores the sport's recent history and provides new insights into the game. With unparalleled openness, he shares his most inspiring experiences, heartwarming stories and hard-won wisdom. This is PeleÌ's legacy, his way of passing on everything he's learned and inspiring a new generation. In Why Soccer Matters, PeleÌ details his ambitious goals for the future of the sport and, by extension, the world. -- page [4] of cover. 600 00 $a PeleÌ, $d 1940- 600 00 $a PeleÌ, $d 1940- $x Travel. 611 20 $a World Cup (Soccer) $x History. 650 0 $a Soccer $x History. 650 0 $a Soccer $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Soccer players $z Brazil $v Biography. 700 1 $a Winter, Brian. 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012030326.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1AE146BAE59111E4B87737CBDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
