You Are a Champion: How to Be the Best You Can Be Paperback – 27 May 2021

Review

Marcus has spoken for, and inspired, millions of children who are from similar backgrounds to him, helping them to see that your current situation does not have to determine where you are going. That is so so powerful. -- Siya Kolisi, South African rugby captain and world cup winner

It makes perfect sense that he [Marcus] should have written a motivational self-help book for kids (with Carl Anka). Conversational enough for the reluctant reader, but actually packed full of top-flight sports psychology and no little depth. ― Guardian

It’s down to earth, practical, and written with his trademark warmth and empathy. As he says: “When you believe in yourself, incredible things can happen.” Every young person should read this book. ― Daily Express

[Marcus] shares life lessons and practical advice he wishes he had read as a boy, encouraging reading, hard work, team-building, confidence and humility. Enlivened with anecdotes, diagrams and silhouettes, this is clear, sensible and inspiring for any age. ― The Times, Best Children's Books for Summer 2021

Written with journalist Carl Anka, this is an empowering read touching on the themes of building confidence, setting goals and finding your passion. Rashford starts the book by saying it’s one he wished he had growing up, and many adults reading alongside their children will agree with this sentiment. It gives an interesting insight into Marcus Rashford’s personality – his love for puns, tendency to play ‘knock a door and run’ as a child and just why his first nickname was Shot – making it a thoroughly enjoyable read for both children and adults alike. ― Independent

a thoroughly enjoyable read for both children and adults alike. ― Irish Examiner

An invaluable read for older readers as well as young football fans, this is a wry, moving, and memorable book for finding your way in the world. ― BookTrust

There’s serious stuff here, but delivered in such an accessible manner that all children will relate to it. ― Daily Mail
