Amazing Life of a Hero
Loved this book and have gained not only admiration for Abby Wambach the Olympian and pro footballer, but deep empathy for this strong, brave, self-actualized activist. My heart swells with her beautifully crafted words retelling her journey of triumph on her trek of peaks and valleys. Brilliance and charisma and her warrier heart shine through every page. ❤

Honest...fierce...vulnerable...leader...truthful!
I arrived at reading or I should say listening to this book in a roundabout way...listening to Glennon being interviewed by Brene, on her podcast....I downloaded “Untamed”, listed to it, over and over again, which I still do. That lead me to want to listen to “Forward”. I have gotten amazing take sways from both books. Firstly,I can’t stress enough how impactful it is to have the authors reading their own work. Abby and Glennons work combined has been inspirational to me. Strength personified! Thank you the “warriorest” of the warriors!!

Authentic perspective from one of women soccer’s greatest
Forward provided a real, authentic light on the pressures and realities experienced by Abby Wambach. As one of the biggest soccer stars in the world, it was very cool to hear about the highs and lows of her career (both on and off the field).

Missing Champion Mindset
Was originally interested in this audiobook for hearing about a champion's mindset, their work ethic, their view on the future, and their locus of control. I was surprised how much lack of focus she had on that aspect - instead alcohol use and abuse was the majority of it. There were no lessons that I took away from this book to apply to my own life (apart from don't drink alcohol) to accomplish big things.
