A must-read for anyone who calls themself a soccer fan. Bri talks through her early years growing up in small-town Minnesota to winning Olympic gold in 1996 and 2004 to the career-ending concussion she suffered in 2010 and the difficulties she had post-career. Highly recommend also watching the Paramount+ documentary about her, which follows the same general path as the book.

Briana Scurry's memoir is beautifully inspiring. Scurry talks about her time on the US Women’s National team, as well as her entire soccer career and being an openly gay, Black player. with an on-field collision and a concussion so bad it nearly drove her to suicide. The brain injury that Scurry suffered in 2010, lead to Severe headaches, regular nausea and dizziness. Ongoing physical disability devolved into so thick a financial quagmire that she pawned her Olympic gold medals.
USWNT Goalkeeper Briana Scurry shows the readers that Sports athletes are normal human beings with normal issues just like all of us.
