THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER FROM EUROS CHAMPION AND BBC SPORTS PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR BETH MEAD

WINNER OF THE SUNDAY TIMES SPORTS BOOK AWARDS AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR 2023

With foreword by Ian Wright & afterword by Jermain Defoe

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 runner-up 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.

From being placed in the local boys' team as a child because her mum wanted her to run off her boundless energy, to joining Middlesbrough FC's Centre of Excellence and making her professional debut at Sunderland, Beth and women's football have come a long way.

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Very inspiring

Beth is a person with a very interesting and moving story. Her growth from a child playing soccer to one of the vital players in the England squad that won the European championship is great to hear about. Also her struggles with her mom’s cancer and the times her career was more rocky. I loved the story and the narration is impeccable.

Great story-better than other soccer bios

I am a 🇺🇸 uswnt fan but found much respect for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 during the euros.

Most female soccer books are written by a ghost writer and rely heavily for content on generic game play by .plays. This one felt much more like Beth contributed the content. It was my fave soccer bio to date.

If you like this one read christine sinclair’s and amy wambach’s.

I do wish Beth read as least part of the book herself but other than that it was a pure masterpiece. The prose really brought scenes and emotions to life.

I wish Beth well I will be cheering for Lionesses in the WC unless of course they are playing 🇺🇸
