In the heart of California, Susie Petruccelli navigated a challenging upbringing within a sports-driven, male-dominated family. Determined to forge her own identity and carve her path, she triumphantly secured a spot on the soccer program at Harvard University, reveling in the euphoria of talent, strength, love, and worthiness. However, less than a year later, everything that had once made her feel invincible crumbled. In her candid, empathetic, and healing memoir, RAISED A WARRIOR, Susie shares her remarkable journey of rediscovering herself as both a player and a mother, while also delving into the evolution of the women's game and the ongoing challenges it faces in achieving the equal rights it rightfully deserves. Honored with the prestigious VIKKI ORVICE PRIZE, this inspiring story serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of resilience and the power of sport to heal and transform lives.
