"After my third game, my mother asked me why I didn't pass the ball. I said the whole point is to score the most goals. She told me, 'It is going to make you lonely. None of your teammates will want to be friends with you.' Since then, I have prided myself on passing the ball and building up my teammates. It was the beginning of my life of gratitude."
"Empowerment is a theme that runs throughout Wambach's activism, speaking engagements, and now, 'The Wolfpack Way,' a picture book for children that arrived in bookstores this week. For even with her formidable soccer skills, Wambach says she felt powerless as a child. 'All of the decisions were being made for me,' she says. So I created a picture book I wish I had growing up - full of inclusivity, teamwork and diversity."
"When she's not writing books, the two-time Olympic gold medalist and former U.S. women's soccer team captain co-hosts the weekly podcast series 'We Can Do Hard Things' with her wife, best-selling author Glennon Doyle, and Doyle's sister Amanda. Recently, the couple has been on the road with their 17-year-old daughter, singer-songwriter Tish Melton, who is performing in her first tour."
