“My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose – somehow we always win out.”, said Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the United States. If you like sports or if you want to support a female athlete, pick up this book! Since Alex mentioned (in great detail) the Olympic match versus Canada, I'm going to spend all afternoon looking for that exhilarating game because: You better believe I'll be watching every minute of it. Starting June 6, the USWNT are competing in Canada in the hopes of winning the World Cup. The release of this book is perfectly timed to coincide with a huge event. I took away a lot from this book and I felt very inspired to become a better version of myself. Morgan also gives the reader a lot of basic but good advice. Even though I am familiar with her career, this book provides a fantastic behind-the-scenes look. This works really well since this book is aimed at a younger audience. In a way, the writing style is very chatty so you feel like you're catching up with a friend. In this book, Morgan takes you on a tour of her very short but thrilling life.

I remember seeing her explode on the field as a sub and thinking that she was going to be huge one day. I think one of the reasons I'm such a big fan is because I've been able to see her grow into the fantastic player she is today. Since we're roughly the same age (I'm a year older), I've seen every stage of Alex Morgan's career. Football was kind of taboo for women when I was younger so I got very attached to the women's team as a way to be like 'See? Women are into sports! And they're amazing! Football is not just for boys!'

Football is one of my biggest passions.which is why I was beyond shocked when I found out Alex Morgan's memoir was about to come out and I had no idea! In case you don't know, I've been following the USWNT since I was a child.
