Liam Cruz

Liam Cruz is the author of the Young Legends Sports series and a longtime youth soccer coach who’s passionate about helping kids grow through sports. He’s played everything from basketball and baseball to flag football and tennis, and he believes the lessons you learn on the court or field—like teamwork, grit, and leadership—stick with you for life.

Liam writes for kids ages 8–12 who love learning about their favorite athletes and want to be inspired by the real stories behind the game. His books combine fun facts, motivational moments, and high-energy storytelling to keep even the busiest kids reading.

When he’s not coaching, writing, or watching highlights, Liam is probably out kicking a ball with his team or working on his next big project to help young athletes believe in themselves.
