Christine Brennan, the USA Today sports columnist, author, and
commentator, uses her voice to advocate for diversity and equality
in the world of sports, and her wisdom to encourage future
journalists. Her passion for sports was sparked by her dad, who
encouraged her to participate in athletics and, as he said, "smell
the game"--go watch baseball and football games together. As a
child, Christine wrote daily entries in her diary and listened to
play-by-play coverage on her radio. She pursued this love of words
through journalism school and applied her passion for sports by
reporting on them for various newspapers. Since then, she has
portrayed the setbacks and triumphs of athletes, all the while
fighting her own battles for success--and respect--as a female
journalist. From knocking down barriers in NFL locker rooms to
covering every Olympics since 1984 to being the go-to commentator
whenever scandal occurs in the sports world, Christine Brennan has
done it all. Eye to Eye invites young readers to learn more about
this remarkable journalist and perhaps to nurture their own dreams
of investigating and telling important stories.
