Sports and leadership are big topics right now -- so we asked legendary soccer star Abby Wambach to recommend some books that help her lead both on and off the field. Two of them aren't even sports books -- they're memoirs! But, says Wambach, "if you really want to be a great leader, you have to know the people you're trying to lead." Check out her conversation with Morning Edition's A. Martinez here.

Meant This G D Much
AN ICON!
I wasnāt planning on my game review because I was late to the god damn party (melly working a little TOO hard last night). But I lack the ability to shut up about soccer SO.
US v Australia 2.0 - the battle for BRONZE
AD mf FRANCH. I love her. Okay? What a hard position to step into and she handled it well. Australia is a tough team and they scored bangers. Huge props to AD for holding it down. That one Kerr save?? HUGE. (Also her hair looked GR8, Tierna did a good job)
Becky. Captain Becky. Itās not like I ever doubt her brilliance and she is so SOLID. Itās genuinely impressive and the way she stepped to the ball all game and the clearances she was able to make, tackles, everything. Sheās amazing.
And TIERNA. What a tournament for her. Iām sure she didnāt expect as many minutes with how consistent the Abby-Becky combo has been. But with Abby struggling, T stepped up and did so with confidence and class. Like, last game, the PK, that could have rocked anyoneās mental game. But not Tierna. She showed up. Future star. Already a star!
Crystal Dunn everybody. Hardworking, badass, smart as hell, vision, the footwork, I donāt know! Every wonderful quality you can say about soccer players, she HAS it.
Kelley. The birthday gal. She wasnāt leaving without a medal. That much was clear. Could she stay in her feet more? Yeah, Iād prefer it! But her speed to shut down balls out to Foord and her crosses to the middle were great. Did she really miss marking Foord on that header goal? Also Yeah. But we won so Iām not finding it in me to care very much.
Julie. Um. Howād she go from MCL injury, not playing any minutes to p much a full ninety in every game but one? Can I have her doctors number? Can they fix my knee? Whatever the secret sauce was, that takes some grit. Sheās not lollygagging around the field. Sheās working her ass off winning balls and directing the team. So so solid.
SAM. Hopefully sheās okay! It always hurts my heart a bit when any of them go down. But before the sub off, more glimpses of Sammy Bananas playing more like herself! Winning headers, as she SHOULD, and positioning her body right to love players off the ball. I hope drunk, Lizzo yelling Sammy made an appearance post-game
Lindsey Bulldozer Horan. Pinoe said it. She had herself a game. The Portland Aussie days came in handy and she said Caitlin and Hayley, you may NOT have the ball if you are in my vicinity. Sorry not sorry. She took a moment to find the right weight behind the ball to serve, but when she found the sweet spot, it was good shit. And I know she gets flack for being as strong as she is and going to ground easy. But this game, THIS game. She showed that when she uses her damn muscles and stays up, goodbye. There were 2-3 occasions where she was just powering through, shaking players off like gnats. More of that please.
Rosie. I love when Rose gets fired up. Sheās everywhere and running full speed. In the past, she looked fragile, like the wind would blow her over. Not anymore. Rose will go for the crunching tackles, and she is strong enough to body players away. Her passing wasnāt back to full accuracy yet, but her heart seems to always be in it.
Sonnett - smack dab in the middle of this because she got to play MIDFIELD. She did well for her minutes and had a great save in the box near the end. And beyond that. Her energy on the bench is so positive and joyous. She really seems to lift others up and having that on a team is so essential. Love her celebrations
Press. I think there was a collective celebration knowing that Press finally is getting an Oly medal. It was nice to see her big ole smile during the game again. It would have been poetic to see a goal out of her, but it wasnāt her day for that, shots going a little off Target or not having enough oomph. But some excellent runs, movement with the ball, and defensive work. She was certainly one who, if she happened to lose the ball, she was sure as fuck getting it back. Say thank you to your leggies Christen, they served you well.
Tobin. Happy to see her in another game. Knowing that her injury had the potential to be career ending, seeing her play in games feels like a gift. We didnāt get to see her typical Tobin magic, but watching her play sometimes is enough for me. Though, I could be singing a different song if Carli decided not to try for a hatty and was a lil more unselfish in the box. BECAUSE TOBIN WAS WIDE OPEN.
Alex. My heart hurts for her too. To have limited minutes and get hurt during those minutes. Her scoring opportunity was a beautiful run. Didnāt end in a goal but I can appreciate it all the same. Itās not an excuse but I donāt know how she kept her head straight all tournament having to leave Charlie behind for the first time. Like, the most separation since she was born. (And this goes for ALL athlete parents forced to leave their kids behind.) I wouldnāt be able to do it. I hope baby Charles enjoys the bronze medal. I expect an adorable picture of her wearing it. Plz and thx.
Carli - she scored 2 fabulous goals. Those are the only nice words I have for her.
MOVING ON and FINISHING UP
PINOE. Holy fucking shit. Say what we all will about her stamina, but boy does she show up for us when we need her most. I could have said that just about the Olimpico, but then she goes and scores that side volley?? Are you kidding me? Big bummer for Alanna Kennedy in that moment, but oh my GOD. Pinoe rules.
Special game day shout outs to cute wobbly Alyssa celebrations in the stands and to Kristie and Sam Kerr getting to be gay for the world to see. Love that for them.
Iām pretty sure this was me for the last 60 minutes of the gamešš and my girlfriend was definitely Glennon.
