Description
Scoring Goals in the Dark by Clare Shine is a candid and powerful memoir about the highs and lows of a young footballer's journey to success. From her early days as a star striker, winning international call-ups at just 13, to struggling with addiction, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts, Shine shares an unflinching account of her battle to find identity and confidence. As she navigates the pressures of professional sport, Shine reveals the darker side of fame, where the weight of expectation can be overwhelming. Yet, it is in these moments of crisis that she finds a way to overcome, both on and off the pitch. This is a remarkable tale of recovery, resilience, and the search for a true sense of self. Through her story, Shine sheds light on the complexities of life as a young athlete, where the line between success and struggle can be perilously thin. A gripping and thought-provoking read, Scoring Goals in the Dark is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in sports, psychology, or the human spirit.
