From the publisher:
The most decorated US soccer player in history, Landon Donovan is no stranger to the highs and lows of life. From a troubled childhood to a dazzling professional soccer career, he’s struggled to find serenity on and off the pitch. In his unfiltered autobiography, Landon: A Memoir, he reveals the story behind his rise to greatness - the hard, dark truths behind his triumphs, his battle with depression, and the healing power of therapy. Landon takes us through his celebrated career in the MLS, including playing alongside David Beckham, and his stunning World Cup successes. But even with all his achievements, mental health off the pitch was hard to find. Unflinchingly honest, his story is a must-read for soccer fans and anyone on their own mental health journey. Donovan shows us that becoming the person you want to be is always possible. His story isn't about a soccer legend, but a human being who has struggled with mental health, and the lessons he's learned along the way.
