As a child, Abby Wambach was loud and clear about what she wanted and what she didnt, and she didnt want to be left out of any competition - especially soccer. In this powerful biography, readers will dance and dart down fields with Abby as she slingshots - balls thwump whiz whoosh - straight into goals, sweating and scoring her way from school league leader to U.S. Womens National Team star. The story follows Abby through both success and setbacks because while even pro athletes miss goals, face losses, and can get injured, determined Abby has always been tougher than her toughest challenge. Readers will cheer on this talented fan favourite as she kicks the legendary U.S. Womens team toward Olympic fame, while also being reminded that theres just as much inspiration in Abbys struggles as in her victories.
