Publisher's 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.

Just an amazing story

As a fan of Alex Scott the footballer I thought I knew some things about her but after listening to her book and the pain and joy in which she tells it, turns out I didn’t know much. But as someone who is also pretty closed off I appreciated her story. The way she told it and the way you can just tell she didn’t hold anything back. Can not recommend this book enough!
