One Life (Broché)

Only four years old when she kicked her first soccer ball, Megan Rapinoe developed a love and dear talent for the game at a young age. But it was her parents who taught her that winning was much less important than how she lived her life ; from childhood on, Rapinoe always did what she could to stand up for what was right. In One Life, the Olympic gold medalist and two-time Women's World Cup champion invites readers on a remarkable journey, looking back on both her victories and her failures, and pulls back the curtain on events we know only from the headlines.
In 2016, when she took a knee during the national anthem in solidarity with former NFL player Colin Kaepernick to protest racial injustice and police brutality - the first high-profile white athlete to do so- the backlash was immediate, but couldn't compare to the overwhelming support. Rapinoe became a force of change.
