The goalkeeper who made the save in the 1999 World Cup final shootout writes about being the only Black player on that team, and about the concussion years later that ended her career and nearly her life. She pawned her gold medal before she found her way back.
Why we picked it
It is the unglamorous version of what happens after the highlight, including head injuries, which every soccer parent should read once.
