As a young footballer, Clare Shine appeared to have it all. She won
her first international call-up at age 13, and by 15 was part of
the Republic of Ireland Women's under-17 squad. But the pressure of
being a star striker weighed heavily on her young shoulders. By age
19, she had played in a UEFA European Championship and a FIFA World
Cup, scored the winner in a Cup Final, won her first senior
international cap and become a full-time professional player. But
she had also become addicted to alcohol, experimented with drugs,
suffered panic attacks and attempted suicide for the first time.
This is the story of someone trapped in a world where the weight of
expectancy and the battle with personal demons was all washed away,
albeit temporarily, whenever she put the ball in the back of the
net. It is the story of a girl struggling to find her true
identity, a journey in search of confidence and self-belief from
someone who seemingly had it in abundance, and a remarkable tale of
recovery and achieving new goals.
