In this inspiring, down-to-earth memoir the revered goalkeeper and American icon idolized by millions worldwide for his dependability, daring, and humility recounts his rise to stardom at the 2014 World Cup, the psychological and professional challenges he has faced, and the enduring faith that has sustained him.
In The Keeper, the man who electrified the world with his amazing performance in Brazil does something he would never do on a soccer field: he drops his guard. As fiercely protective about his privacy as he is guarding the goal on the field, Howard opens up for the first time about how a hyperactive kid from New Jersey with Tourette’s syndrome defied the odds to become one of the world’s premier goalkeepers.
The Keeper recalls his childhood, being raised by a single mother who instilled in him a love of sports and a devout Christian faith that helped him cope when he was diagnosed with Tourette’s in the fifth grade. He looks back over his fifteen-year professional career—from becoming the youngest player to win MLS Goalkeeper of the Year to his storied move to the English Premier League with Manchester United and his current team, Liverpool’s Everton, to becoming an overnight star after his record-making performance with the United States Men’s National Team. He also talks about the things closest to his heart—the importance of family and the Christian beliefs that guide him.
Told in his thoughtful and articulate voice, The Keeper is an illuminating look at a remarkable man who is an inspirational role model for all of us.
The Keeper is illustrated with two 8-page color photo inserts.

Review
“Thanks to its honesty, The Keeper is one of the best sports memoirs I’ve read recently.” (Daily Beast)
“Inspiring and compulsively readable.” (People Magazine)
From the Back Cover
In the summer of 2014, Tim Howard became an overnight sensation after more than ten years as one of America's leading professional soccer players. His record-breaking fifteen saves for the United States national team against Belgium in the World Cup electrified a nation that had only recently woken up to the Beautiful Game after decades of hibernation.
An estimated TV audience of 21 million viewers in the United States watched Howard's heroic performance against the heavily favored Belgians in which he repelled shots with his hands, feet, legs, knees, and even his signature long beard. In this inspiring and candid memoir, the beloved U.S. and Everton goalkeeper opens up for the first time about how a hyperactive kid with Tourette's syndrome from New Jersey defied the odds to become one of the greatest American keepers in history. The Keeper is also a chronicle of the personal sacrifices Howard's made for his career, including the ultimate dissolution of his marriage and its most painful consequence: separation from his two children.
The Keeper will captivate soccer fans and readers who are unfamiliar with the sport but want to know what makes a world-class athlete different from the rest of us—and where that difference gives way to common ground.

Inspired
By Cordy
Some reviews are critical of the use of sports jargon in the book. To that I say this is an AUTO-biographical work written by an athlete.
As to the narrative itself, it is honest and inspirational. I've been a Tim Howard fan since his Metrostars days. I remember the pride of learning a US soccer player had been picked up by Manchester United (the New York Yankees of soccer). I watched all 15 saves in the 2014 World Cup, and doubt I will ever get over that loss. With all that said, I picked up this book mostly curious as to how Howard had suffered from and managed his Tourette's Syndrome. Simply put, I'm now more impressed with the man than the goalkeeper.
Great read. I literally couldn't put my Kindle down and now I really need to get to bed.

Fantastic!!!
By Kristin D in CA
A beautiful blend of transparency and humility. Tim Howard's story is one for all American soccer fans- beautiful insight from his greatest struggle to his rise to fame. The best part being his honest account of his struggles with TS, his fears of failure, and his realization that his marriage had ended. What an endearing ending, which looks to be really the beginning of the best years of his life. Bravo!

Quick and easy read, and ah yes, that Belgium-USA WC game!
By Paul Allaer
"The Keeper - A Life of Savings Goals and Achieving Them" (2014 publication; 318 pages) is the memoir from US soccer goalie Tim Howard, who made World Cup history last summer when he made a WC record 15 saves in that epic Round of 16 elimination match again Belgium (more on that later). Not unpredictably, the book is structured in four parts which all start off with a reflection on that game against Belgium (Pregame; Warning Shots; Nothing Gets Through; Still Alive). Otherwise it is a straight-forward, chronological memoir, from his early days in New Jersey (or "Jersey" as he calls it), rising through the ranks in the US, to then break through as a 24 yr. old in the English Premier League. Frankly, he has been at Everton for so many years that I had forgotten he actually started out his first 3 seasons in t EPL at Man United.
As to the book itself, this is very easy and quick reading. Even though it's a bit over 300 pages, I blew through this in a single afternoon recently (while having EPL games on the telly).
As to Tim's comments on the Belgium game, he says time and again "I believe that we will win", and certainly his performance isn't the reason why ultimately Team USA did not beat Belgium. Being a dual citizen of both Belgium (where I grew up) and the US (where I've lived 30+ years), you can only imagine how conflicted my feelings were about this game. In the end, the most important thing is that this was probably the most enetertaining match of last year's entire World Cup, where each team gave their all, and then some. I look forward to having Tim Howard be the goalkeeper for Team USA for a few more years, maybe even to the next WC. If you are a football fan (and you know who you are), you will enjoy this book from start to finish.
