Forward: A Memoir

<p>&quot;This is the best memoir I've read by an athlete since Andre Agassi's Open, but it is much more than a book about sports. It's a candid, moving account of the thrills and toils of achieving greatness - and then sustaining it. I could not put it down, and you will not want it to end.&quot; </p><p>-Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take</p><p>Abby Wambach has always pushed the limits of what is possible. At age seven she joined the boys' soccer team and at age 35 she became the highest goal scorer - male or female - in the history of soccer. Abby captured the nation's heart with her team's 2015 World Cup Championship and was called an inspiration and &quot;badass&quot; by President Obama. Abby has become a fierce advocate for women's rights and equal opportunity, translating her leadership and team's success to the real world.</p><p>As she reveals in this searching memoir, Abby's professional success often masked her inner struggle to reconcile the various parts of herself: ferocious competitor, daughter, leader, seeker, wife. With stunning candor, Abby shares her inspiring and often brutal journey from girl in Rochester, New York to world class athlete. Far more than a sports memoir, Forward is a gripping tale of resilience and redemption - and a reminder that heroism is, above all, about embracing life's challenges with fearlessness and heart.</p>
