Less than a year ago, Abby Wambach took the stage at Barnard's commencement and gave a speech that shook many, including myself, to the core. Her speech went viral. Earlier this month Abby released the speech in book form. Wolfpack: How to Come Together, Unleash Our Power, and Change the Game is short (less than 100 pages) but is much more than just her speech. You get a peek into how the speech came together and why she said everything. And because the book is short and is an expanded speech, it moves quickly. I feel that it moves with the same ferocity that Abby use to move down a soccer field. And you might find yourself cheering as she takes you through the story.

HTML: "Abby is a relatable revolutionary â?? with WOLFPACK, she inspires the confidence, leadership and sisterhood we all so desperately need right now." â?? Amy Schumer This program is read by the author. 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 co-captain 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 Wolfpacks 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. She insists that women must let go of old rules of leadership that neither include or serve them. She's created a new set of Wolfpack rules to help women unleash their individual power, unite with their Wolfpack, 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. 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. More praise for WOLFPACK: "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...Abby Wambach is what the next level of women's revolution will look like, and I'm DOWN." â?? Elizabeth Gilbert, bestselling author of E No library descriptions found. |

I disagree. It deserves to be a book so that it can be re-read and savored. You can't deny the power of a well constructed and delivered speech, but there is something about transforming the ideas to a book that, for me, adds something to the message. It can attain more gravitas, can become a touchstone. Can be part of your life even when you're not watching a screen.
Wambach's message is timely and empowering. Her candid reflections on her career and her personal life provide context for her motivational message. I've been exposed (willingly and otherwise) to plenty of motivational speakers and books, and none of them has resonated like Wambach's "Wolfpack Rules". These are not just warm and fuzzy ideas - or ideals - they are specific empowerment recommendations based on her own life experience and the world she sees around her.
As has been noted, it's a really short read/listen, but you know what? That's OK. Her advice doesn't need to be padded out. It's good just as it is. ( )
