An instant New York Times bestseller!Rapinoes signature pose from the 2019 FIFA Womens World Cup is synonymous to the feeling we got when finishing this book: heart full, arms wide and ready to take up space in this world.USA TodayMegan Rapinoe, Olympic gold medalist and twotime Womens World Cup champion, reveals for the first time her life both on and off the field. Guided by her personal journey into social justice, brimming with humor, humanity, and joy, she urges all of us to ask ourselves, What will you do with your one life?Only four years old when she kicked her first soccer ball, Megan Rapinoe developed a love and clear talent for the game at a young age. But it was her parents who taught her that winning was much less important than how she lived her life. From childhood on, Rapinoe always did what she could to stand up for what was righteven if it meant going up against people who disagreed.In One Life, Megan Rapinoe invites readers on a remarkable journey, looking back on both her victories and her failures, and pulls back the curtain on events we know only from the headlines. After the 2011 World Cup, discouraged by how few athletes were open about their sexuality, Rapinoe decided to come out publicly as gay and use her platform to advocate for marriage equality. Recognizing the power she had to bring attention to critical issues, in 2016 she took a knee during the national anthem in solidarity with former NFL player Colin Kaepernick to protest racial injustice and police brutalitythe first highprofile white athlete to do so. The backlash was immediate, but it couldnt compare to the overwhelming support. Rapinoe became a force of change.Here for the first time, Rapinoe reflects upon some of the most pivotal moments in her life and career from her realization in college that she was gay, through the disputes with soccer coaches and officials over her decision to kneel, to the first time she met her nowfianc WNBA champion Sue Bird, and up through suing the US Soccer Federation over gender discrimination and equal pay. Throughout, Rapinoe makes clear the obligation we all have to speak up, and the impact each of us can have on our communities. Deeply personal and inspiring, One Life reveals that real, concrete change lies within all of us, and asks: If we all have the same resourcethis one precious life, made up of the decisions we make every daywhat are you going to do?One Life makes it clear that Rapinoes greatest accomplishments may ultimately come away from the soccer pitch. Shes a new kind of American hero.San Francisco Chronicle
