  • Tough with heart

    Hope Solo hasn't had an easy ride either in her upbringing or her struggle to be such a wonderful role-model for sports people the world over. She tells a candid truth in this book and you feel how genuine she is throughout; but you also know that some of the truths she tells will upset some of people she has crossed in life. But isn't that the way? If someone wants to make something of themselves they have to trust their instincts and really be true to their innerself. Hope was sometimes right and she was sometimes wrong. But she kept battling and pushing forward and eventually she became one of the most respected female soccer players of all time. I truly loved this book, because even though her story isn't half-over, there was so much she had to share with the reader. Heartbreaking moments with her father, not the most respected man in the world, but a man she loved and vindicated his goodness after his death; and the battles in the USA Female International Soccer Camp, which were sometimes shocking too. A great book and an inspiration to teenage sports ladies. It will give them Hope no matter how many knocks they take.
