The first openly gay professional athlete in North America tells
the story of his landmark decision to come out of the closet and
how he changed the playing field of professional sports forever.
"Rogers made history." -Sports Illustrated Robbie Rogers knows
better than most that keeping secrets can crush you. But for much
of his life Robbie lived in paralyzing fear that sharing his big
secret would cost him the love of his family and his career as a
professional soccer player. So he never told anyone what was
destroying his soul, both on and off the field. While the world
around Robbie was changing with breathtaking speed, he knew that
for a gay man playing a professional team sport it might as well be
1958. He could be a professional soccer player. Or he could be an
out gay man. He couldn't do both. Then last year, at the age of
twenty-five and after nearly stepping away from a brilliant
career-one that included an NCAA Championship, winning the MLS Cup,
and competing in the Olympics-he chose to tell the truth. But
instead of facing the rejection he feared, he was embraced-by his
family, by his teammates, and his fans. In Coming Out to Play,
Robbie takes readers on his incredible journey from terrified
teenager to a trailblazing out and proud professional soccer player
for the L.A. Galaxy, who has embraced his new identity as a role
model and champion for those still struggling with the secrets that
keep them from living their dreams.
