  You'll find 101 secrets from someone who went through the journey of becoming a professional soccer player and made it. Now, she wants to give back to the game by giving back to the girls. With this guide, you have everything you need to know and a few funny anecdotal stories from a girl who's done it all before.  
  Each one of our journeys is different, but you will be able to take something from her words and make them your own. If not, draw some inspiration from her story as she tells about making her way onto two national teams, two Division I university teams, and three professional teams with more to come. By listening to her struggles that every player has at some point - from sitting on the bench and feeling discouraged to battling negative female player stereotypes to problems she hopes no one has to go through, like hip surgery - she hopes that you can give yourself the best chance of making it as a professional soccer player in a world where they encourage anything but.

  A warm, reflective and uplifting memoir about healing wounds, reclaiming a voice and discovering freedom through the open water.
  
  
  The open water. To the uninitiated, it represents the unknown, an expanse of mystery and uncertainty. But to those who brave the wild waters, it is so much more. A space to heal. A place of communion. A balm to quieten the mind, soothe the soul, and allow you to reconnect with the world and yourself.
  
  
  Emma Simpson discovered wild swimming after a period of immense pain. Lost in grief, disillusioned with life, and feeling increasingly untethered from the world, she instinctively felt the pull of the water. There she found an unexpected source of hope and strength, a profound sense of connection, and a glorious sisterhood of women - each with their own remarkable stories to tell.
  
  
  Interweaving the tales of these inspirational women with reflections on her own experiences, Emma explores themes ranging from devastating loss to birth and rebirth, and from chronic illness to body confidence. Whether describing the taste of an iceberg or a kiss from a baby whale, Breaking Waves is a love letter to womanhood and the open water. It's also a celebration of community, renewal and the power of writing your own life story. Above all else, it is a joyous celebration of going with the flow.

  Discover the origins of the Lionesses that brought football home. 
  Shortlisted for the Sports Book Awards for Best Football Writing of the Year
  England's Lionesses are on the front and back pages; their stars feature on prime-time television; they are named in the national honours lists for their contribution to their sport and to society. The names of Lucy Bronze, Steph Houghton and Ellen White are emblazoned across the backs of children's replica jerseys. These women are top athletes – and top celebrities. But in 1921, the Football Association introduced a ban on women's football, pronouncing the sport 'quite unsuitable for females'.
  That ban would last for half a century - but despite official prohibition the women's game went underground. From the Dick, Kerr Ladies touring the world to the Lost Lionesses who played at the unsanctioned Women's World Cup in Mexico in 1971, generations of women defied the restrictions and laid the foundations for today's Lionesses - so much so that in 2018 England's Women's Super League became the first fully professional league in Europe...when just a few decades previously women were forbidden to play the sport in England at all.
  This book tells the story of women's football in England since its 19th-century inception through pen portraits of its trailblazers. The game might have once been banned because of its popularity – find out about the subversive women who kept organising their teams and matches despite the prohibition, who broke barriers and set records – the legends of the game who built the foundations of the stage upon which today's stars flourish.
  'At what feels like a pivotal moment, Carrie's forensic research and depth of knowledge make her the perfect person to guide us through the constantly changing landscape of women's football' - Kelly Cates, TV presenter
