Playing the Long Game: A Memoir Christine Sinclair

For the first time in depth and in public, Olympic soccer gold- medalist Christine Sinclair, the top international goal scorer of all time and one of Canada's greatest athletes, reflects on both her exhilarating successes and her heart-breaking failures. Playing the Long Game is a playbook of earned wisdom on the value of determination and team spirit, and on the real leadership that changed the landscape of women's sport.

Christine Sinclair is one of the world's most respected and admired athletes. Not only is she the player who has scored the most goals on the international soccer stage, male or female, but more than two decades into her career, she is still the heart of any team she plays on. She captains both Canada's national team and the top-ranked Portland Thorns FC in the National Women's Soccer League. 
    Working with the brilliant and bestselling sportswriter Stephen Brunt, who has followed her career for decades, the intensely private Sinclair will share her reflections on the significant moments and turning points in her life and career, the big wins and losses survived, not only on the pitch. Her extraordinary journey, combined with her candour, commitment and decency, will inspire and empower not only her fans and admirers, but also girls and women everywhere.
