390: Setting and Scoring Financial Goals with Pete Huryk
Setting and Scoring Financial Goals is a basic guide for any soccer fan who wants to understand personal finance better. The consistent sports metaphor explains intimidating concepts such as “small cap stocks” with ease for anyone who understands “the beautiful game.” Although it may seem complex, finance is simply a game like any other with players, strategies, and results. In order to win the game, it’s necessary first to understand it and this book is a great first step!
Fill Your Boots was Pete Huryk’s first book. Intended for high school-age soccer players, it is filled with life lessons that overlap with the game of soccer. The book can be read as a whole or read section by section depending on the needs of the individual.
In his sophomore work, Soccer Life Balance, Pete took a more methodical approach to individual achievement. Using facets of the game as metaphors for different aspects of life and their systematic improvement, Soccer Life Balance is a resource manual for taking steps toward being a better version of one’s self.
