Books across genres featuring women in sports

Whether you call it football or soccer, you'll enjoy these biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs from some of the sport's biggest names.

These books have one, some, or all of the following vibes: a love of soccer; coziness; baked goods; grumpy/sunshine (à la our dear Keeley and Roy); found family; an exploration of shared humanity.

I’ve also included a few of the books referenced in the show! 📺

Memoirs by female football (soccer) players or coaches.

Nonfiction books by and about women in professional sports

Memoirs of relatively well-known people that were surprising for one reason or another. Going beyond your traditional tragic or high-profile celebrity subjects.
