Description
The Sunday Times bestseller and winner of the Sunday Times Sports Book Awards Autobiography of the Year 2023
Fully updated paperback edition, with two new chapters
Lioness - My Journey to Glory by Beth Mead chronicles the remarkable story of one of the world's most talented footballers. Beth has achieved immense success, including being the 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 a nominee for the 2022 Ballon d'Or. Yet, her journey began as an ordinary kid from Hinderwell, North Yorkshire, with a simple dream to play football.
Beth shares the challenges that moulded her, detailing her journey to the pinnacle of her career and the personal experiences that fortified her resolve. From being dropped from the England squad to dealing with devastating family news, she recounts finding her best form under the guidance of Jonas Eidevall and Sarina Wiegman. Packed with positive lessons and an exclusive account of England's triumphant Euros campaign, Beth offers readers of all ages an intimate, behind-the-scenes look into her extraordinary path to glory.
Empowering, inspirational, and honest, this is Beth's story.
This paperback edition has been meticulously updated to include the details of the 2022-23 season, Beth's ACL injury and her recovery process, her reflections on the 2023 Women's World Cup, along with overcoming profound personal challenges that have further strengthened her.
