The article is an excerpt from Mary Earps' autobiography, "Mary Earps: All In". The story revolves around her retirement from international football and her decision to leave the England national team. She recounts a conversation with her manager, Sarina Wiegman, where she initially agreed to continue playing for the team despite feeling uncertain about her role and performance.
However, after rethinking her decision and realizing that she had been manipulated into staying, Mary decided to speak with Sarina again and express her doubts. In this second conversation, she tells Sarina that she doesn't think she ever really wanted to continue playing for England in the first place, implying that she was coerced into staying due to external pressures.
The article highlights Mary's growth as a person and her increasing self-awareness, as well as her ability to stand up for herself and make tough decisions. The story also touches on the themes of confidence, autonomy, and the importance of trusting one's own instincts.

. She's literally gone through a huge transformation - from being uncertain about her role to knowing what she wants for herself. It's so inspiring to see someone who's taken the time to reflect on their own desires and boundaries 
.
. But instead of just giving up, she took a stand and spoke up. It's all about trusting your instincts and having confidence in yourself 
.
. But Mary's story shows us that it's okay to prioritize ourselves and take the time to figure out what we really want 
.
. it's not easy to acknowledge when you've been manipulated or coerced into something, but it sounds like sarina wigman wasn't being super supportive of mary's feelings and that really messed with her head 
. anyway, i think mary's decision to speak up and make a change is a huge step forward for her growth as a person, and it's awesome that she's prioritizing her own confidence and autonomy 
.
. i mean, she was already feeling uncertain about herself but then she gets this pressure from everyone else and is like "okay, i'll stay" 
. but then she realizes she was just going through the motions and that's not her anymore. it's like she had to find her own voice all over again 
.
. it's crazy how much growth you can go through in one conversation 
. and it's all about trusting your instincts, which is something we should all be doing more often 
. like, what's holding you back from speaking up? is there someone or something pushing you to stay in a situation that doesn't feel right? 
. I mean, she could've just kept going through the motions, but instead she took a deep breath and chose to listen to her gut. It's like, we're always being told to believe in ourselves and trust our instincts, but Mary actually did it, you know? 
I'm loving this excerpt from Mary Earps' autobiography! It's so inspiring to see her take control of her football career and finally listen to her own inner voice 
. Her story is all about self-awareness, confidence, and trusting your instincts. I think it's a super empowering message for anyone who's ever felt like they're not good enough or that they need someone else's validation 
.
. They're always just recycled content, no real depth or analysis. But I guess Mary Earps' story is kinda inspiring, even if it does sound a bit dramatic for my taste 
. So she had a conversation with her manager and suddenly figured out what's best for her? Like, easy for her to say now that she's retired 
That's some major manipulation right there. But Mary called BS on that and now she's living her best life outside of football. 
Mary Earps is proof that you can never be too late to know what you want 
. It's amazing how she took control of her career and found the courage to say no to things that didn't feel right 
! And it's so inspiring to see her stand up for herself and make tough decisions 
. She's showing us that it's okay to take time for yourself and prioritize your own happiness 
.
. It's like, we're always being told to be strong and tough, but sometimes it's okay to say 'actually, I need some space' or 'I don't feel right about this'. It's so refreshing to see someone using their platform to promote self-awareness and personal growth 
anyway back to Mary Earps... I love how she's owning her decisions now, you know? It's not always easy to acknowledge when we're not being true to ourselves. I've been there too, trying to fit into roles or situations that don't feel right. But it takes a lot of courage to take a step back and say "you know what, this isn't for me". And it sounds like Mary Earps has learned from her experiences and is now more in tune with herself... I'm kinda curious how she's doing now 
her story is a reminder that growth and self-awareness are lifelong journeys, not destinations 
just read about mary earps decision to leave england national team... think it's kinda sad that she felt forced into staying 
her manager sarina wiegman was supposed to be supporting her but instead seemed to be pulling the strings behind the scenes
