Playing the Long Game: A Memoir by Christine Sinclair

informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.0

I only know Christine Sinclair‘s name from her gold medal win at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. I was inspired enough then by her and her Canadian athleticism to give this a listen, and I’m glad I did. She shares her history in the sport, and her viewpoints on the inconsistencies between the treatment of male and female soccer athletes. She opens your eyes to how far behind Canada is compared to our permanent United States rivals. She is motivating and dynamic to listen to. 

If you are a soccer fan, a memoir fan, and/or anyone who loves Canadian sport, I’d give this a listen if it interests you.
