Abby is a two-time Olympic gold medalist soccer player and FIFA World Cup Champion. She was the United States’ leading scorer in the 2007 and 2011 Women’s World Cup tournaments and the 2004 and 2012 Olympics. In *Wolfpack,* Abby writes about the “Point and Run.” She explains that every time she scored a goal, the first thing she would do is point to the person who made the assist or the coach who called the play.
