What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger is a book full of inspirational anecdotes from Australian A-league football star Archie Thompson.

What does it take to become a success? How can setbacks make you stronger? Where do you find guidance on the road to the top? Archie Thompson is one of Australia's best-loved footballers, a ten-year veteran of the Socceroos and marquee player for the A-League's power club, Melbourne Victory. He holds the world record for most goals scored in an international match. Football fans love the way Archie plays with a smile on his face and this book, like the man himself, is straight-shooting. He writes on everything from mateship, the importance of loyalty and discipline, how to build confidence in yourself and to overcome life's lows while enjoying the highs.

His positive messages will inspire young footballers but are also for anyone wanting to make a difference in sport, business and life. Archie tells how he has been inspired by legendary teammates like Harry Kewell and friend Tim Cahill and guided by some of the greats in the game. But as he explains, the drive to become the best you can be is found within.
