You Are a Champion: How to Be the Best You Can Be

Product Information

Marcus is the guy that helps someone up when he's done a bad tackle, Marcus is the guy that crosses himself and points up to the sky where his Nan is looking down on him before walking on to the pitch, Marcus is the guy who supports, congratulates and applauds winners when he is on the losing side. It reads like a mindful conversation with a trusted friend, gently peeling back the layers to both remind me that I’m worthy and shine a light on the new revelations of what could be if I believe in myself (at that time). Alongside his non-fiction, Marcus is also the author of the bestselling The Breakfast Club Adventures series, fiction books that aim to inspire a love of reading in children and show them that adventure can be found anywhere. You can be a champion in a competition and come out number one, but you can also still be a champion in the things you enjoy even if you don’t win prizes for them. With action points at the end of each chapter featuring brilliant advice and top tips from performance psychologist Katie Warriner, this is a practical guide for every child to believe that their dreams can come true.

And coming from a football pin-up, the advice that “when you come up short in a challenge, it’s important to not give up and just stop there, but to look at what happened and think about how you could overcome a similar problem in the future” is more telling. Things that have helped me through tough times and things that have helped me find and celebrate the good.Penalty shootouts can be nerve-racking, one of the hardest things to do as a professional soccer player, and some of the best players in the world have missed penalties in shootouts. There are more wonderful books out for younger people that I think this one would be qualified for a skip-over. Before he became a global star, Marcus was just a young boy, an average kid from Wythenshawe in South Manchester – with a dream. In You Are A Champion, the nation’s favourite footballer gives you the tools you need to reach your full potential, showing you how to be the very BEST version of yourself you can be. Marcus Rashford is famous worldwide for his skills both on-and-off the pitch – but before he was a Manchester United and England footballer, and long before he started his inspiring campaign to end child food poverty, he was just an average kid from Wythenshawe, South Manchester.

Yes, he's a great player, but for me its always the sportsmanship and etiquette on the pitch that turns a player in to one of my favourites. He has written for BBC, Guardian, VICE, NME, GQ and BuzzFeed among other publications online and in print and specialises in writing about pop culture, video games, films and football.

million vulnerable children continued to have access to food supplies whilst schools were closed during the pandemic. Ultimately the one thing he wants everyone reading to understand is that you are already a champion – every single day when you go out and give the best you can give, you are championing yourself, and hopefully, championing those around you that you care about. Everyone learns how to play it at school, and most weekends, thousands and thousands of people go to stadiums around the country to watch their favorite soccer team play. But in the days after missing a penalty for England and losing the UEFA Euro 2020 final, I didn’t feel great.

Marcus Rashford is famous worldwide for his skills both on and off the pitch – but before he was a Manchester United and England footballer, and long before he started his inspiring campaign to end child food poverty, he was just an average kid from Wythenshawe, South Manchester.I am not interested in football but I'd seen Marcus in the news getting his MBE and he seems genuinely to want to do good, and like a great role model for children. Currently a reporter for sports media group The Athletic, covering Manchester United, he is the host of the Talk of the Devils podcast and is scared of talking on the phone. After reading my eARC, I have already added this book to my reading group list, because I have some students in mind who would love to hear these words of encouragement and inspiration from a man like Marcus Rashford.

In the days following the final, people from all over the UK traveled to the painting and left messages of support for me and my teammates. The language is just so basic that I think even a 10 year old would struggle with this book in trying to take it serious. The game went into extra time, and in the last moments of the match, the England manager, Gareth Southgate, put me on for the penalty shootout.Besides being a successful footballer with Manchester United and England, Marcus campaigned against child hunger and homelessness and he forced the government to change its mind with regard to food vouchers for disadvantaged children. Whilst he is only 23, he has inspired the world with his work to provide support for those who were already struggling before the global pandemic that is Covid-19.
