I thought that this book was very inspirational, and touching, but it can also be a tear jerker at times. In her autobiography, "Forward, My Story" she explains the hardships she faced in her life and how she overcame them. She is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, a FIFA World Cup winner, and a six-time winner of the US Soccer Athlete of the Year award. Overall, if you are a soccer player or not a soccer player, I would really recommend this book, especially for younger readers like me, it's a great memoir and very inspiring.Ībby Wambach is a recently retired player on the USWNT. But, not only is the book interesting from a soccer standpoint, hearing about her struggles measuring what she called "Chill Abby" and "Intense Abby" were really fascinating, hearing the advice she would give teammates was really inspiring, not to mention how well she always looked on TV when I would watch her play soccer when she was really dealing with a lot outside of soccer. Not only is the book really interesting from a soccer standpoint, and since I wasn't alive for some of Abby's games, or old enough to watch, it was really interesting to hear about everything that happened in these games, like the 20 World Cups, the 2008 Olympics she had to miss due to the Olympics, and the 3 soccer leagues she has been part of, 2 of them have folded. Now, I also want to read the adult one and compare the 2. I have read this book before, but I wanted to re-read it because I remember it being one of my favorites. You get a unique adjective each chapter, usually describing herself, dealing with a soccer game, family issues, her love life, friends, and mental health. This book is a memoir about Abby Wambach, a very famous soccer player, and a successful person. Written with honesty and heart, Forward is an inspiring blueprint for individual growth and a rousing call to action. Wambach’s book goes beyond the soccer field to reveal a soulful person grappling with universal questions about how we can live our best lives and become our truest selves. In this edition of Forward that’s been adapted for young readers, Abby recounts her own decisions, wins, losses, and the pivotal moments that helped her become the world class athlete and leader she is today. She has become a heavily requested speaker to a wide a range of audiences, from college students to executives at Fortune 500 companies. Admired for her fearlessness and passion, Abby is a vocal advocate for women’s rights and equal opportunity, pushing to translate the success of her team to the real world. Named by Time magazine as one of the most influential people of 2015, the iconic soccer player captured the nation’s heart when she led her team to its recent World Cup Championship.
Abby Wambach has always pushed the limits of what is possible.
