WOLFPACK: How to Come Together, Unleash Our Power, and Change the Game

Clear, concise, filled with examples to illustrate her Rules. It may be about soccer, but is is more than that. I am a marathon runner, and I realized how important it is to run with another runner last Saturday at a 1/2 marathon. I lived the Rules Abby has compiled in that 13.1 mile race. This book is a roadmap for any woman, or man, at any age. But, it is especially a book whose messages every young girl needs to learn.

Abby Wambach’s Wolfpack: how to come together, unleash our power, and change the game had me at, “It’s your time.” p. 7 What I really like about this sweet simple concise read is mostly how impactful the guide posts are: 1. Create your own path 2. Be grateful for what you have ANd demand what you deserve. 3. Lead now - from wherever you are. 4. Failure means you're finally IN the game. 5. Be FOR each other. 6. Believe in yourself. Demand the ball. 7. Lead with humanity. Cultivate Leaders. 8. You're not alone. You've got your pack. The final page before the above list leads me to consider although Abby lists what we can create, she leaves the reader with their responsibility for how with others possessing similar values. P. 92 So don't just asking yourself, “What do I want to do?” ask yourself: “Who do I want to be?” The most important thing I’ve learned is that what you do will never define you for long. Who you are always will. We are the Wolves. There is magic inside us. There is power among us. Let’s unleash and unite. Let’s storm the valleys together, and change the game forever. This is a compact short book. Reminds me of Make Your Bed, by Admiral McRaven. This book is a shorter, different autobiographical narrative, but the same enthusiasm to succeed through personal and societal cliffs and valleys with a circle of others we trust. Overall enjoyed this book. I'd had it on the shelf since March. Felt compelled to #JustDoIt today. Glad I did. Felt a little like a sabbatical from books that usually take days. Although began in print, switched to Audible to be with the author one on one since Ms. Wambach is the narrator. Listening felt a great depth of relationship to her story and how it relates to me, the reader, and my journey. Like two friends hanging out. Teammates encouraging the other. Might sound weird, but for some authors I listen to this is the image I'm getting from them. If you are a man or woman, either or this would be a great book to feel encouraged, tone-setting, an eight-point guidepost to reset for the goal post :) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🚀

I recommend this for women's groups and women in general. This is my favorite quote from the book: "Be grateful for what you have and demand what you deserve."

Ms. Wambach was a guest on 'The Tony Robbins' podcast recently where she spoke on 'Wolfpack'. How passionately she spoke about the book and her message led me to the read. Although the book is targeted to women and at certain points could be taken as digs at the Male gender, she is not wrong with many of her points. This mini professional development book takes us through Ms. Wambach being on top of the world and the transition to losing that spot and readjusting to a new chapter of her life. The book is focused on eight rules for success and the old norms/thinking conventions that they are replacing. The book definitely changes your perspective and you walk away motivated. Target audience is coming of age women but anyone who is a feminist and wants to have a more well rounded perspective on life can get alot out of it

Awesome book especially for younger women. Abby is a great role model!

Received this book this afternoon and read it in one sitting - which I never do. I barely read at all anymore because I stay home with my 2 daughters. This is a book full of lessons and wisdom I will read to my girls - a book they will receive when they can read so they have a constant reminder of their place in the world. As a former soccer player, the writing was relatable and fun to read. This book articulates lessons and rules to live by that sometimes I struggle to show my kids. Here’s to doing better - to championing one another as women, to raising a generation of strong, badass girls who are going to rule the world side by side. Thanks for reminding me, as their mom, that I, too, am the wolf. Sometimes calling myself “just a mom” or saying “I don’t work” wears on me - constantly feeling like I need to explain why or show them my bachelors degree or something - and this book is chock full of reminders for me that I am enough. Highly reccomend for anyone - but definitely mommas!

This book came in the mail today, and I already finished it. Today. And, in case you're wondering, I was able to finish this cover to cover while still doing other things: I worked out, made important phone calls, picked up children from various locations, went to the store, took a shower, got a massage, made dinner, did some cleaning. My life isn't glamorous; I'm an educator on spring break so I have to squeeze all the things in to one day. But I still managed to finish long before bedtime. The chapters are short and sweet, and they provide clarity and the beginning of each one via The Rule, plus a quick synopsis of living by said Rule at the end. It's neat and clean and not filled with flowery or lofty language. It almost makes me want to have more children so I can have a girl to raise into a badass wolf in addition to my privileged sons. ALMOST...I'll settle for using Abby's words to help teach my boys to make the world better place ALONGSIDE the pack.

Just read the book in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down. Abby mentions in the book that a woman wrote her a message saying that what Abby said are things she felt her entire life but didn’t have words to explain. What Abby writes are things I’ve thought about and some things that I have said. However she puts it together so eloquently and in such an inspiring way. I would read something and say Yes, yes out loud. Not joking. It’s about leadership and specifically women leaders. I’m guessing I’ll read it many more times. It is pure inspiration for women but really for all people. We are all leaders. If you are alive, you are leading something...you are leading your life. Which therefore means this book is for you. Must read for all girls. I rarely write reviews but thought it was so great I shut the book and immediately picked up my phone to write a review. Abby, you rock! I’m part of your Wolfpack!

The best leadership book I've read.

It’s a clear and straightforward book, that makes us feel all the things that happened in your lives over and over, and how important it is not only to believe in yourself just for the sake of it but also to make other women/girls/and whoever feels like this world is not for them to be heard! Amazing!

Un livre simple, clair, conscis et pourtant " empowering". Je trouve qu'il est abordable pour les personnes parlant anglais: pas de termes trop compliqués, mais des guidelines simples à avoir en tête, avec des exemples inspirants

I love books that challenge my thinking and support my growth to be the best version for myself and the influence I have to others in how I show up. This book Abby tests your thinking and all men need to read this to be mindful how to show up in a more equality with their actions which I will apply myself especially in Women’s Football. After this book, your will develop your thoughts, behaviour and actions. Thank you Abby!

Three reasons I rated it 5 stars 1) Short Stories - Story telling like Bible 2) Short book to read 3) Great insights on courage and leadership
