Girl to Girl - Sports and You

Can you catch a ball? Throw far? Shoot a basket? Push yourself? You can! Great, that means you play like a girl!

This book's main theme is that girls can do anything they want, ANYTHING. That's not news to us but it's nice that the word is getting out there.

So, here's what you'll find and won't find in this book.

 

   

You won't find what to do with a pressure cooker.

BUT

You'll find out what to do under pressure and how to handle pressure properly.

     

You won't learn how to get stronger and faster so you can beat up your older brother.

BUT

You'll learn how to get stronger, faster, how to be a good sport, a good teammate, how to be more condifent so you won't need to beat up your older brother - you'll beat him at his favorite sport.


     

You won't find how to buy a sport bra with good support.

BUT

You'll find where to look for people that will support you.

     

You won't read about how to throw hard and fast in order to accidentally make your teacher's nose bleed (this was actually one girl's most embarrassing moment -she accidentally hit her teacher right in the face)

BUT

You'll read how sport can improve your strength, stamina, power and coordination and many other benefits.


     

You won't find a quiz to test your knowledge on past Oscar Winners

BUT

You'll find a quiz to test your knowledge on sport, a quiz on how athletically fit you are, a quiz to find out if you are a healthy or unhealthy eater and many more...

     
 

You won't learn about what to look for in a good cat.

BUT

You'll learn about what to look for in a good coach; who's a good coach and who's not.


     


You won't find cool stats about which nailpolish will garanty victory.

BUT

You'll find cool stats and facts about sports; how many girls are playing; who was the first female to participate in the Olympics and lots more.

     
So, if you want to know more about sport, need inspiration & motivation or like reading other girls' stories and testimonies, then this book is for you.

   
But if you're already up to date on sport, fully motivated and inspired and hate ready other people's stories and comments, then you can recommend this book to one of your friends who might enjoy it.
