Listened to the audiobook read by the author. An awesome insight into the author’s winning and inclusive mindset, professional women’s soccer, the politics of sport, activism through celebrity, and sticking to one’s values with tenacity notwithstanding what others might say.

This was a really enjoyable read and exactly what I was looking for, given my affinity for what I knew of Megan before reading.
A short, fast paced inside peek into her upbringing, some major events that happened in her personal life, her soccer triumphs and her path into the activism that she’s also so well known for.
I found her confidence about her and her teammates’ achievements very refreshing and liberating, I hope more successful women can speak with less impulse to downplay things. I also thought her path to activism and conviction was done well, not too in your face that it could become off putting.

I love Pinoe and appreciate this book but it was definitely not written for me (a long time, dedicated fan). Rather, I suspect it was written for all of the people who have latched on to her since last summer. It was very much a summary of her highs and lows so none of it was new to me. I did appreciate hearing what she had to say about her various coaches though.

Being a U.S soccer fan it only made sense for me to pick up the book. As much as I understood the book was an autobiography, I would have loved more content on the more recent events.
