The first openly gay professional athlete in North America shares his transformative journey of coming out and its impact on the world of sports. For years, Robbie Rogers lived in fear that revealing his sexuality would lead to losing his family's love and jeopardizing his soccer career. This internal struggle weighed heavily on him, as he felt trapped in a society where being a gay man in professional sports seemed impossible. At 25, after achieving significant milestones—including an NCAA Championship, an MLS Cup, and Olympic competition—he decided to embrace his truth. Contrary to his fears of rejection, Robbie was met with acceptance from his family, teammates, and fans. In this narrative, he recounts his evolution from a scared teenager to a pioneering professional soccer player for the L.A. Galaxy. Now, as a proud role model, he advocates for those grappling with their own identities, inspiring others to pursue their dreams without fear. His story is a testament to the power of authenticity and the positive change it can bring to individuals and the sports community.

Bad things happen to everyone, and this collection provides just the right dose of irreverence to help you laugh at life and all its nasty surprises. Inspired by the author's profoundly pessimistic grandmother, it offers wry, world-weary ruminations on a sampler of life's themes, including: Health (" The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not ."  —Mark Twain); Love (" The surest way to be alone is to get married ."  —Gloria Steinem); and Money (" I have enough money to last the rest of my life, unless I buy something ."  —Jackie Mason). Enjoy.
