Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the football cages of East London to broadcasting to millions, the engine powering Alex Scott's remarkable journey has always been her resilience. But thanks to a 'push-through mentality' the world has only ever seen the 'strong' side of Alex Scott. Now Alex is ready to lower the shield. In How (Not) to Be Strong, Alex shares the lessons that have shaped her, from finally confronting the legacy of a tumultuous childhood to tarnished truth behind the gleaming football trophies.
With raw honesty, Alex shows how she's tackled life's challenges and that sometimes the strongest thing you can do is show your most vulnerable side to the world.

Pure emotion, love and punch the air support!
Words can’t explain how listening to this audio book makes me feel. And listening to Alex’s story makes you love her more and more! You feel like you understand her and respect her even more.
The Dyslexia, the proving people wrong, the troubled start in life, the ambition, the losses and the wins. It practically is my past two so even more of a connection.
