The soccer standout said she hopes the book resonates with its audience. "The glorious moments, my relationship with James Galanis and growing up" were her favorite things to share, she said. Lloyd said that story was one of the most fun parts to write. Applying the principles he established as director of operations at the Universal Soccer Academy in Lumberton, Galanis developed an individual road map that culminated in his prized student’s long-term success. It has been a difficult road, and I wanted to be honest to the readers so they can better understand me," she said.Īffectionately nicknamed "the Wizard," Galanis keenly recognized the untapped potential in Lloyd, who now lives in Mount Laurel. But I know it's a part of my journey and who I am today. It was hard writing about the obstacles I faced with the team and my family. "There were many difficult things to share. Not all of the book was easy to write, she said. It also documents Lloyd's struggles and persistence to reach those soccer pinnacles that began with the 2003 connection to her personal trainer and confidant, James Galanis. The book goes behind the scenes to share incidents with her family, peers and coaches. I thought it was a good time to share it with my fans," she said in an interview. I knew that my journey could appeal to people of all walks of life. "After the World Cup, there was a lot of interest in my story. In between her final National Women’s Soccer League game Sunday in Houston with the Dash and Monday afternoon’s initial book signing in New York City, Lloyd took time to talk about her book. Lloyd’s numerous accomplishments have been well-reported: 2015 Golden Ball recipient after scoring the first hat trick in a World Cup championship game two-time Olympic gold medalist who netted the Golden Goal in both the 20 Games 2015 FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year and captain of the U.S. Subtitled “My Hard-Fought Journey to the Top of the Soccer World,” the family rift is just one of the numerous topics the Delran native shares in the candid and revealing hardcover that became available Monday.
In her newly released memoir, “When Nobody Was Watching,” co-written with Wayne Coffey, Lloyd reveals the circumstances that created a rift with her now-estranged family.
The same cannot be said with regard to her own family. Carli Lloyd is Burlington County’s favorite daughter.
