You Are a Champion: How to Be the Best You Can Be
Marcus Rashford, Carl Anka, Katie Warriner
I want to show you how you can be a champion in almost anything you put your mind to.
Marcus Rashford MBE is famous worldwide for his skills both on and off the pitch – but before he was a Manchester United and England footballer, and long before he started his inspiring campaign to end child food poverty, he was just an ordinary kid from Wythenshawe, South Manchester. Now the nation’s favourite footballer wants to show YOU how to achieve your dreams, in this positive and inspiring guide for life.
Written with journalist Carl Anka, You Are a Champion is packed full of stories from Marcus’s own life, plus brilliant advice and top-tips from performance psychologist Katie Warriner. It will show you how to be the very BEST that you can be.
It shows kids how to:
- Be comfortable with who you are – you can’t be a champion until you’re happy being you!
- Dream big
- Practise like a champion
- Get out of your comfort zone and learn from your mistakes
- Navigate adversity in a positive way
- Find your team
- Use your voice and stand up for others
- Never stop learning
With an afterword by Tim S. Grover, trainer and mentor to Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan.

It was an excellent book telling you about how to be a champion. Marcus says that you need to persevere and have confidence no matter what you are doing. It is a therapeutic book for me and I really got into it and read it in one session.

I absolutely adored this book as it teaches you that even if you fail you can always try again and learn from your mistakes. It teaches you that you are only in competition with yourself and that you can improve that past self of yours. It's a life-changing book and inspires and encourages you to be a champion and to be the best that you can be.

This book is about how to achieve your dreams. It also tells you to believe in yourself and the importance of practicing. You need to work hard and be confident! You can be the next champion! I really enjoyed this book because it helps you reach your dreams. I highly recommend it to all children from 8 to 15. My favorite part is when he talks about his journey to becoming a professional footballer. It inspired me a bit as I also want to become a football player!
