美丽的梦想:自传
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
“A captivating read from one of our country’s greatest athletes.” ―Christine Sinclair, former captain of the Canadian Women's National Soccer Team and National Bestselling Author of Playing the Long Game
Out of the Toronto suburb of Brampton comes an irresistible story of trials, perseverance, the limelight of international soccer, and—above all—heart.
Despite debuting on Canada’s senior national soccer team 20 years ago, scarce is known of Atiba Hutchinson. We’ve watched him win Canadian Men’s Player of the Year six times; celebrated his club team championships; and mourned his injuries. We’ve lamented the state of Canadian soccer and cursed the lost potential—and years. Yet, we know little about Atiba’s personal life, or how he rose from suburban Brampton to becoming Canada’s most-capped national men’s team player, often described as the country’s greatest athlete you haven’t heard about.
For the first time, Atiba is ready to share the extraordinary story of his ascent to the heights of professional soccer, nationally and internationally, and what he believes makes a true champion. The Beautiful Dream is an intimate account of Atiba’s awe-inspiring career, from his humble beginnings to playing across Europe; the crushing disappointment of failing national team competitions in the 2010s that nearly led to his resignation from the national program; all the way to his triumphant arrival in Qatar to face off against 31 other nations at the world’s most pre-eminent soccer competition. He has strived to better not only his own game but the landscape of Canadian soccer for over two decades, culminating in Canada’s first trip to the FIFA World Cup since 1986. Yet, as the reflective midfielder shows, this isn’t just his story: The Beautiful Dream is the story of countless Canadians, who strive and scrape for a seemingly unreachable dream—until their fingertips finally graze the surface. It’s a lesson about the unyielding belief required when taking the long road to success. Atiba's journey mirrors the progression of Canadian soccer, and the story of Canada itself: goals that may begin as outsized but as we work towards them, our world changes with us.
Atiba’s journey of hope, belief, and resilience connects the country’s modest soccer past to a bold, exciting future in the game. It’s a story that transcends the pitch, exploring what it means to be a kid who dares to dream of achieving the impossible, and the man who perseveres to get there.
国内畅销书 “一位我们国家最伟大的运动员所写的一部引人入胜的读物。 —前加拿大女子国家足球队队长,同时也是畅销书作者 Christine Sinclair” 来自多伦多郊区布拉姆波恩,一个充满诱惑的故事,讲述了挑战、毅力、国际足球的聚光灯以及最重要的是——心的力量。 尽管Atiba Hutchinson 20年前就加入了加拿大的国家男子足球队,但关于他的生活点滴知之甚少。我们曾见证他六次被评为加拿大男足最佳球员;庆祝他的俱乐部球队胜利;哀悼他的伤势。我们也为加拿大足球的状态感到惋惜,为错失的潜力和年华而咒骂。但我们对他个人生活的了解却很少,也不清楚他是如何从多伦多郊区布拉姆波恩崛起成为加拿大最得世界杯金牌最多的国家男子足球队球员之一。 Atiba 从未这样分享过他职业生涯中的登峰造极时刻——无论是从卑微的起点到在欧洲踢球;20年代国际比赛失败给他带来的极度失望,差点让他辞职退出国家队;直到他在卡塔尔面对来自其他31个国家的胜利。他致力于改进他的游戏和加拿大足球几十年的努力最终帮助加拿大时隔34年重返世界杯。 然而,正如反思中场球员所展现的那样,这不仅仅是他的故事:《美丽的梦想》讲述的是无数加拿大人为实现看似不可达的梦想而努力奋斗的故事——直到他们的手指终于触碰到梦想的表面。这是一个关于成功路上必须坚持信念的故事。Atiba 的旅程映射了加拿大的足球从卑微过去到一个充满希望的未来的发展过程,以及加拿大自身的发展历程:最初的进球也许很大,但当我们朝着它前进时,我们的世界也会随之改变。 Atiba 希望、勇气和韧性的人生故事连接着国家谦逊的足球历史与未来。这是一个超越球场的故事,探索了成为一名敢想实现不可能梦想的孩子及其坚持不懈地实现梦想的人的意义。”
