Description:

Why do so many girls stop playing sport as they grow up? Sports journalist Anna Kessel explores this question in a lively, honest and empowering book. She looks at the barriers women and girls face, from body-image worries and periods to lack of confidence and not being taken seriously. Through personal stories, interviews and research, she shows how sport and movement can bring joy, strength and freedom to everyone. Most of all, the book celebrates playing simply for fun. It is an inspiring read for older teens and adults, especially parents, coaches and young women.
