You Can Do It

One person isn’t going to change the world, but your voice can make a huge difference.

From Marcus Rashford MBE and Carl Anka, the bestselling authors of You Are a Champion: How to Be the Best You Can Be, comes the eagerly-awaited inspiring and positive follow-up, You Can Do It: How to Find Your Voice and Make a Difference.

Marcus uses the power of his voice to shine a light on the injustices that he cares passionately about, and now he wants to help YOU find the power in yours! From surrounding yourself with the right team, to showing kindness to those around you, to celebrating and championing difference, You Can Do It shows you that your voice really does matter and that you can do anything you put your mind to. You don’t have to be an International footballer to make a difference – even the smallest changes can have the biggest impact.

Packed with more inspiring stories from Marcus’s own life, brilliant advice, and top-tips from social justice educator Shannon Weber, this book will show you how to use your voice and make a difference in this world.

- Be kind to yourself – you can’t change the world unless you look after yourself first!
- Be kind to other people
