E-Books →Coming Out to Play

While the world around Robbie was changing with breathtaking speed, he knew that for a gay man playing a professional team sport it might as well be 1958. He could be a professional soccer player. Or he could be an out gay man. He couldn't do both.
Then last year, at the age of twenty-five and after nearly stepping away from a brilliant career-one that included an NCAA Championship, winning the MLS Cup, and competing in the Olympics-he chose to tell the truth. But instead of facing the rejection he feared, he was embraced-by his family, by his teammates, and his fans.
In Coming Out to Play, Robbie takes readers on his incredible journey from terrified teenager to a trailblazing out and proud professional soccer player for the L.A. Galaxy, who has embraced his new identity as a role model and champion for those still struggling with the secrets that keep them from living their dreams.
