Description
THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER In his hotly anticipated autobiography, Johnny Sexton tells the story of his life and explores the sources of his unmatched will to win. 'Sexton will go down as Ireland's greatest ever player' Gordon D'Arcy, Irish Times 'A revealing glimpse into the psyche of a serial winner' Robert Kitson, Guardian ___________________ Four European Cups. Four Six Nations championships (including two Grand Slams). A series win in New Zealand. Two stints for Ireland at number 1 in the world. And the World Player of the Year award. No Irish rugby player has ever achieved more, or been a source of more inspiration to teammates and fans alike, than Johnny Sexton. Outspoken, on and off the field, Sexton offers an honest look at his childhood, his relationships with key teammates and coaches (including Brian O'Driscoll, Paul O'Connell, Ronan O'Gara, Joe Schmidt and Andy Farrell), and his ideas about the game. But it is also a work of deep self-exploration, tracing the psychological arc of a player who almost always felt embattled, who struggled with self-doubt, and who was still learning new lessons about being a team-mate and a leader into his late thirties. Intense, witty, perceptive and frank, Obsessed is an autobiography worthy of its author and the essential chronicle of an extraordinary era in Irish rugby. ___________________ 'Levels of wit and psychological insight that are all too rare in a sporting star's autobiography' The Telegraph 'A fascinating portrait of a man always at war ... Candid, frank and brilliantly written, this is a must for any rugby lover' Daily Mail 'A seriously compelling book' Stephen Jones, Sunday Times 'The best ever Irish player to play the game' Andy Farrell 'An autobiography to be inhaled' Irish Examiner 'Sexton is on that rarefied plane of athlete where even his mere presence can feel quietly decisive' Jonathan Liew, Guardian 'An essential read for any keen follower of professional sport in Ireland' Irish Independent 'One of the best sports biographies in any discipline in recent times' RTÉ Guide 'A rich insight into one of Irish sport's most complex, high-performing minds ... up there with the all-time great rugby books.' Irish Independent
