The article is an excerpt from the book "Mary Earps: All In" by Mary Earps. It appears to be a memoir or autobiography, and the passage describes Earps' experiences as a goalkeeper for the England national team and her relationship with the team's manager, Sarina Wiegman.
Earps writes about how she was initially given the confidence to fulfill her potential as a goalkeeper, but later realized that she had been manipulated into staying on the team despite her doubts. She describes a conversation with Wiegman in which Earps told Wiegman that she couldn't do it anymore and that she didn't want to continue playing for the team.
Earps reflects on the experience and realizes that she had been approached in the same way repeatedly, delivering the same lessons. She comes to understand that her journey with Wiegman was ending, not because of any external factor, but because she had gained the confidence to say no to Wiegman's demands.
The passage ends with a note about the book and its availability for purchase at the Guardian Bookshop.

I mean, who knew being a goalkeeper for england could be so emotional?!? Earps' story is all about finding confidence and speaking up for yourself. it's like she was stuck in some kind of cycle where wiegman would say one thing but earps would hear another 
. anyway, i love how earps ended up gaining the courage to say no to wiegman's demands. that takes a lot of guts!! 
It's not easy to admit when we've been taken advantage of or manipulated, but she does just that and takes ownership of her journey. I think it's so important for athletes (and people in general) to speak out about the pressure and expectations they face, especially when it comes to their mental health.
I just read this excerpt from Mary Earps' memoir and I'm like "girl, same!" You know when you're trying to figure out your own career or life path but someone keeps pushing you to do what they think is best for you? 
It sounds so familiar. And I love how she's speaking her truth now and saying that it was time for her to move on. 
I'm definitely looking forward to reading the whole book, hope it's a great read! 
I'm intrigued by Mary Earps' story. It's crazy how we can be pushed into roles or situations that aren't really right for us, even if we're talented or capable. It sounds like Wiegman was a master manipulator, but also kind of a mentor? The fact that Earps eventually found the confidence to walk away shows that she was growing and learning as a person, not just a footballer 
... it was like, whoa! What's next for women's soccer?
. But then I realized that if I wanted to be present for them, I had to take care of myself first too. It's the same with any big decision in life. You gotta know when to speak up and say no if it's not right for you 
.
️ and I'm left thinking... how many of us have felt like we're being 'held back' by our coaches or managers, only to realize that it was all a means to an end - building our confidence. It's wild to think that Earps had been in those same conversations with Sarina Wiegman multiple times 
. I mean, can you imagine saying no to someone who's basically telling you what you're capable of? 
But Earps' journey shows us that having the courage to speak up and say no can be a game-changer
