Synopsis

The Sunday Times bestseller and winner of the Sunday Times Sports Book Awards Autobiography of the Year 2023

Fully updated paperback edition, with two new chapters

Beth Mead is one of the world's most talented footballers - Golden Boot winner and Player of the Tournament at the UEFA Euro 2022, England Player of the Year 2021-22, Arsenal Player of the Season 2021-22, and nominee for the 2022 Ballon d'Or. But long before this, Beth was just an ordinary kid from Hinderwell, North Yorkshire who wanted to play football.

Now, Beth shares the challenges that shaped her, what she faced on the journey to the top, and the life events that made her stronger - from being dropped from the England squad and receiving devastating family news, to finding her best form under the guidance of Jonas Eidevall and Sarina Wiegman. Filled with positive lessons and an exclusive account of England's triumphant Euros campaign, Beth offers readers of all ages a heartfelt, behind-the-scenes look into her remarkable journey to glory.

Empowering, inspirational and honest, this is Beth's story.

This paperback edition has been fully updated to include the details of the 2022-23 season, Beth's ACL injury and her recovery, her thoughts on the 2023 Women's World Cup, as well as overcoming devastating personal challenges and how this has made her even stronger.

Goodreads review by Molly™☺ on January 20, 2023

A very inspiring story that journals Beth Mead's football career from the start all the way up until the infamous Euros win. As someone who used to play football myself when I was younger, I found much of the earlier years highly relatable. However, whilst I moved away from playing during secondary......more

Goodreads review by Alyssa on March 27, 2023

(I feel weird about rating biographies.) All I will say is if you are a fan of football, this book is a must read. Like many, I was one of those people who only recently got into women's football post-Euros. This book is the perfect introduction to one of the 2022 Euro's key player– Beth Mead. It's......more
