Four years old when she kicked her first soccer ball and fell in love, Megan Rapinoe's parents encouraged her love for the game, but taught her that winning was far less important than how a person lives their life. From childhood on she has always tried to stand up for what is right, even if it means going against people who disagree . . .
Using anecdotes from her own life and career as an athlete, Olympic gold medalist, and two-time woman's World Cup champion, from suing the US Soccer Federation over gender discrimination to her widely publicized refusal to visit the White House, Rapinoe discusses the obligation to speak up, and the impact a person can have on their community. Deeply personal and inspiring, One Life shows how real, true change lives in all of us.
“Rapinoe's 'signature pose' from the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup is synonymous to the feeling we got when finishing this book: heart full, arms wide and ready to take up space in this world.” -- USA Today
