Her off-field life has been eventful as well. Her sincere passion for the game helped her survive the years of physical and psychological sacrifice. Wambach’s storied soccer career led her to multiple Olympic gold medals and FIFA Women’s World Cup titles, the achievement of which she portrays engrossingly, and she offers sobering descriptions of the various serious injuries endured along the way. Her life has been filled with athletic triumphs and personal demons a-plenty, and she shares her story in gripping fashion. Not so arguably, she is the greatest professional female soccer player in history, and this revealing autobiography shows us that she is also a compelling writer. Since I generally don’t follow team sports, I confess my awareness of Abby Wambach was pretty slim until recently.
