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

by Abby Wambach Narrated by Abby Wambach

Overview

Based on her inspiring, viral 2018 commencement speech to Barnard College's graduates in New York City, New York Times best-selling author, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and FIFA World Cup champion Abby Wambach delivers her empowering rally cry for women to unleash their individual power, unite with their pack, and emerge victorious together.

Abby Wambach became a champion because of her incredible talent as a soccer player. She became an icon because of her remarkable wisdom as a leader. As the cocaptain of the 2015 Women's World Cup Champion Team, she created a culture not just of excellence, but of honor, commitment, resilience, and sisterhood. She helped transform a group of individual women into one of the most successful, powerful, and united wolf packs of all time. In her retirement, Abby's ready to do the same for her new team: all women everywhere.

In Wolfpack, Abby's message to women is: We have never been Little Red Riding Hood. We are the wolves. We must wander off the path and blaze a new one: together.

She insists women must let go of old rules of leadership that neither include or serve them. She's created a new set of wolf pack rules to help women unleash their individual power, unite with their wolf pack, and change the landscape of their lives and world: from the family room to the board room to the White House.

• Make failure your fuel: Transform failure to wisdom and power.
• Lead from the bench: Lead from wherever you are.
• Champion each other: Claim each woman's victory as your own.
• Demand the effing ball: Don't ask permission: Take what you've earned.

In Abby's vision, we are not Little Red Riding Hoods, staying on the path because we're told to. We are the wolves, fighting for a better tomorrow for ourselves, our pack, and all the future wolves who will come after us.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

WOLFPACK is a must-read for all of us determined to teach our kids there are no limits. It’s a manifesto for everyone trying to lead—whether it’s a team, a company, a family, or a meaningful life. For those of us who strive to do it all and know there must be a better way, WOLFPACK’s New Rules are the answer."
—Serena Williams

“I would follow Abby Wambach into any battlefield. I would follow her not because she is a bold leader (although she is one), but because she leads from BESIDE women, not from AHEAD of us. On every page of this stirring and inspiring book, I got the sensation of Abby running tirelessly at our side, calling all women to glory, roaring at us to never quit, reminding us of what we can accomplish when we join forces as a pack, and never letting us forget that she is not just our hero—she’s our sister. Abby Wambach is what the next level of women’s revolution will look like, and I’m DOWN.”
—Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love

“Abby is a relatable revolutionary — with WOLFPACK, she inspires the confidence, leadership and sisterhood we all so desperately need right now.”
—Amy Schumer

World championship soccer player Abby Wambach narrates with strength and conviction while telling what she learned while leading Olympic soccer teams from the field and the sidelines, and at home from family and friends. These are the people who make up her “wolfpack.” In 2018, she gave the commencement speech to Barnard graduates, and this motivational audiobook about coming together to make change expands on that powerful talk. Wambach inspires listeners with her new rules to live by and shares the lessons that led her to creating those rules. She emphatically encourages listeners to seek out those who can act as teammates and champions. This is the perfect listen for graduates—or for anyone looking to make a major change in their life or the lives of others. E.E.C. 2020 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
