Haley Burns’s Reviews > When Nobody Was Watching: My Hard-Fought Journey to the Top of the Soccer World > Status Update

I finished the book and really enjoyed it. It inspired and modivated me on and off the field. It led me to learn more and more about Carli. She truly is a wonder soccer player with great accomplishments.

I read about Carli's journey through the World Cup final game. I read over her pregame message from her manger and some texts her family sent her. I love this book because it relates to how I want to be when I grow up. Carli always works hard and enjoyes the game of soccer.

I read more about Carli's soccer experience. I learned you should treat every game like it is the biggest game of your life. Before every game one of her managers would tell her to play like it is the World Cup Final. This came true one day and it was really the World Cup final. That day Carli explained she was excited but nervous. She was a captain and started the game.

I read more about how Carli scored most of her goals. She wrote in detail about most of her goals scored in big games. Se explained what foot she used and where she was on the field. She also explained how being in the right state of mind helps durning a game.

I read more about Carli's experience after the Olympics. I read about all the parades and interviews they got to experience and enjoy. I remember watching the interview that Carli was in. Now as I read about it I receive a little behind the scenes.

I read about Carli and her experience in the Olimpics. She said that she had to fight hard but they still won. Durning that Olimpics, Carli scored many goals and helped her team in many ways. She explained all the fun things that came with winning. She wrote about how she couldn't sleep because she was so nervous and how Hope Solo was the one to always make her laugh.

I read about how being the underdog in the Olympics was difficult for Carli. It was difficult because some of her teammates didn't believe they were going to win, but Carli believed. As I read this book I think about how far I have come in my soccer career.

I have enjoyed this book very much because of the journey Carli has made. She expressed all of the times she thought to herself she was't unable to do this but she keep pushing. I have learned from this book that determination is key when playing in soccer because it is not all about talent but mostly about heart.

I read about Carli Lloyd's adventure during the World Cup and through her years on the national team. She explained all her ups and downs and how all those ups and downs made her who she is today. This book makes dream harder and harder to be like her.

I read about Carli Lloyd's national team experience. She explained how it is fun and hard, but the best time of her life. Reading so far,
I have learned about her struggles and strengths. This book makes me believe and want to secede in my dream.
