An inspirational memoir and guide to finding inner strength from legendary footballer and TV presenter, Alex Scott
I'm slowly knocking down some of those walls I built up around me one by one to protect myself and to show strength. I know now, it is not a sign of a weakness to remove them but part of healing, learning and being free
How do you know when it's time to be strong and when enough is enough? Alex Scott always lived her life with a 'push through mentality'. It was a philosophy that helped her get through some tough early years and she credits much of her success as a footballer and broadcaster to her resilience. But when she retired from professional football, she was subjected to a barrage of racist and sexist abuse which led to a depression diagnosis.
In this memoir and inspirational guide on how to move forward through life's challenges, How (Not) to Be Strong will show readers that, perhaps counterintuitively, sometimes the strongest thing to do is show your most vulnerable side out to the world.
