Hope Solo thrives on competition. The post-feminist face of the modern female athlete shes driven to win & isnt afraid to say it or show it. Determined to succeed on her own terms shes never played it safe even if it cost her a starting spot with the U.S. team during the 2007 World Cup.

- " Solos" story holds lessons & insight not only for her thousands of young fans but for us all."
