Abby Wambach Knihy

Abby Wambach became a champion because of her incredible talent as a soccer player. She became an icon because of her remarkable wisdom as a leader. As the co-captain of the 2015 Women's World Cup Champion Team, she created a culture not just of excellence, but of honor, commitment, resilience, and sisterhood. She helped transform a group of individual women into one of the most successful, powerful, and united Wolfpacks of all time. In her retirement, Abby is ready to do the same for her new team: All Women Everywhere. Abby's message to women is: We have never been Little Red Riding Hood. We Are the Wolves. We must wander off the path and blaze a new one: together. She insists that women must let go of old rules of leadership that neither include or serve them. She has created a new set of Wolfpack rules to help women unleash their individual power, unite with their Wolfpack, and change the landscape of their lives and world: from the family room to the board room to the White House. Based on the her 2018 commencement speech at Barnard College, the two-time Olympic gold medalist presents an empowering message for women to unleash their power, build teams, and positively change the world

«Ho segnato più gol a livello internazionale di qualsiasi altro giocatore o giocatrice della storia. Ho vinto due medaglie olimpiche e un campionato mondiale FIFA. Sono traguardi incredibili, ma fin da bambina l'aspetto che ho amato di più del calcio non era vincere. Quello che mi piaceva era essere membro di una squadra unita. Io e le mie compagne tenevamo le une alle altre, ci difendevamo e ci rispettavamo a vicenda, sempre e comunque. Ero parte di una squadra di donne, ero una leader di queste donne.» Abby Wambach, lasciato il calcio, è diventata un'icona mondiale per i diritti delle donne. Questo è il libro manifesto della sua filosofia per la nuova consapevolezza femminile.
