When Nobody Was Watching
At the height of what was supposed to be her athletic prime, Carli Lloyd was cut from the U.S. Women’s National Soccer team and told point-blank that she wasn’t national-team material. Despondent and devastated, she contemplated retirement before connecting with her coach/mentor, James Galanis, overhauling her mental and physical commitment and commencing a remarkable journey to the pinnacle of her sport, highlighted by the hat trick she scored in the first 16 minutes of the World Cup Final.
The only U.S. player in history to twice be named FIFA Player of the Year, Lloyd candidly shares the full arc of her story in this powerful memoir, giving readers unparalleled insight into what it takes to be a world-class athlete.
