Title: When Nobody Was Watching Pdf My Hard-Fought Journey to the Top of the Soccer World
“If you are a real soccer player—then this is the book for you to read . . . Inspiring and uplifting. ”—GoalNation
In 2015, the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team won its first FIFA championship in sixteen years, culminating in an epic final game that electrified soccer fans around the world. It featured a gutsy, brilliant performance by team captain and midfielder Carli Lloyd, who made history that day, scoring a hat trick during the first sixteen minutes.
Teaching girls to teach girls to teach girls I'm a soccer gal from Jersey all grown up. I played competitively in youth and high school, then co-ed recreational through college and into motherhood (agree with Carli that pickup games and casual scrimmaging are the best places to improve). Now I occasionally coach. Reading this book, I found the writing so-so (refreshingly unshowy though) and the egocentrism of the narrator a bit of a grind, but I'm inspired to go back to coaching with a slightly different style based on challenging girls individually to keep beating their own best records.Tough to get through This was a fine read, but I could have done without a lot of the snark towards other USWNT players. Lloyd comes off as fairly unlikeable, angry at everyone, and a bit immature. You can definitely write an honest book without it being negative, but this book did not do that.What dedication, what inspiration, what a shame I loved the book!Carli Lloyd has developed into a premier womens soccer player (perhaps the best in the world).Ms Lloyd tells the story of her rise from local recreational soccer to her winning of the 2015 womens Balon d'Or (award as the best womens soccer player in the world).Her journey starts as most, with her loving (although a bit overboard - helicopter as they call it today) parents. Her recognition in high school, club and college soccer, to her being cut from the womens U21 team.She meets her trainer James, and her life changes.James takes Carli and helps her to train, become physically fit, unselfish, and a good teammate - although Carli remains a bit neurotic.Other things happen to Carli however, as her relationship with her parents goes from great to no relationship.Eventually Carli does make it back to the Womens National Team, and goes on to win 2 Olympics, and finally a World Cup.The book talks about the relationships that Carli has with teammates, families, Brian (her seemingly saint like) boyfriend, parents, coaches and friends.While the effort and dedication that Carli Lloyd has to herself and to soccer is inspirational, it was very difficult (as a parent) to see her relationship with her parents dissipate to no contact for years. It always takes two parties to tango -as they say - and in this case, you cant help but feel that Carli is a tad bit selfish. And shame on her parents for allowing themselves to just ignore and avoid their own daughter. I was going to give the book 4 stars for this reason - until I realized that life is not like a movie - bad things do happen to good people, and not all problems can be solvedI found myself cheering for Carli, Cheering for her and her family to get back together (which did not happen in the book), and for my own kids to recognize the dedication to success that they will need, whether they continue to play sports or they choose other careers.
