"It was a pretty difficult time but, ultimately, it was a consequence of my own actions. I take full responsibility and accountability for the book, the decisions and how it landed and all those kinds of things, that's on me. It's my name and it's my face on the front of it."
"It really started a period of real deep reflection for me, having some tough conversations with people around me. Mostly I looked at myself. I look back to that time and I feel in a completely different space now. I'm not a perfect person, I'm still learning and growing as a human being."
"You either evolve or repeat. I look back and I have to be accountable for the things that I know I could have done better. I think that was one of the most disappointing things. I would never, ever want anybody to question my respect and admiration for Sarina."
Mary Earps, Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper, has taken full accountability for the consequences of her autobiography released last year. The book revealed her decision to retire from England's national setup before the 2025 European Championships, citing disagreements with head coach Sarina Wiegman regarding the goalkeeping situation involving Hannah Hampton. Earps described her relationship with Hampton as difficult. Following the book's publication and England's successful tournament defense, Earps faced public criticism. She has since undergone significant reflection, acknowledging her imperfect nature and commitment to personal growth. Earps has also spoken with Wiegman since the book's release, emphasizing her continued respect and admiration for the coach.
