Ambition. Drive. Determination. Talent. Courage. Teamwork. Every athlete knows what it takes to win. But for teen female players, the stakes are so much higher. In this anthology, the voices of these athletes come alive, highlighting the ferocity of those who are often shunted to the side. From navigating rampant misogyny to forging a sisterhood through sweat or just reveling in the love of the game, these stories address the phenomenal physical and emotional power of teenage athletes as they compete, persevere, and thrive, both on and off the field.
