When Nobody Was Watching: My Hard-Fought Journey to the Top of the Soccer World by Carli Lloyd, Wayne Coffey
2.0
Wow, this book got boring fast (kinda like women's sports) and it was not well written at all. Minus points for not narrating it yourself. What else are you going to do. You wrote the GD book, Carli! You can't find another 9 hours to read it yourself while clicking the record button? Tired of these memoirists that don't read their own crap, especially when within said crap they try to promote doing Hard Things. They're already showing their true colors by not doing so.
I like how she says that for young kids there is too much organization and not enough unconstructed free time.
No one cares that she is the first female athlete to design her own clients for the world cup
Why is she practically disowning her parents? And Hope got in trouble for speaking out? She likes to skip out on important details.
I will say that when people think that sports stars have it easy they don't realize how much the athletes are training all the time. If it was that easy then more people would do it. But most people are out of shape.
Is it bad that I never heard that the women's US soccer team won back to back Olympic gold medals?
There was a teammate that would always be too rough with her during practice. Then she bragged about being a national team player and her teammate isn't. After she showed that girl who was boss by knocking her down, she says they get along better than ever. Total lie. Anyone who can read this book can tell she's still bitter about it.
