He couldnt do both.Then at the age of twentyfive and after nearly stepping away from a brilliant careerone that included an NCAA Championship, winning the MLS Cup, and competing in the Olympicshe chose to tell the truth. But instead of facing the rejection he feared, he was embracedby his family, by his teammates, and his fans.In Coming Out to Play, Robbie takes readers on his incredible journey from terrified teenager to a trailblazing out and proud professional soccer player for the L.A. Galaxy, who has embraced his new identity as a role model and champion for those still struggling with the secrets that keep them from living their dreams.
