In Motivational Moments in Women's Track and Field, read
inspirational stories of female athletes who overcame adversity to
achieve success. Sixty female track and field athletes from all
over the world and multiple generations are featured in this book.
Stories are of well-known athletes like Wilma Rudolph, who overcame
polio as a child to become an Olympic champion, or unknown athletes
who never made it to the Olympics, such as Gretel Bergmann, who
faced discrimination because she was Jewish, or Doris Brown
Heritage, who faced gender discrimination when women were not
allowed to run distance events. Some, such as Alice Coachmen, faced
racial discrimination, but overcame the adversity to become
successful. Many won multiple medals at the greatest athletic stage
in the world. However, some had their dreams crushed when they were
not allowed to compete in the Olympic Games due to war, boycotts,
or injuries. Motivational Moments in Women's Track and Field is
written for those who are currently competing, coaching, have
participated in track and field or are simply a track and field or
sports fan. The stories convey the history of track and field and
are designed to inspire, encourage, motivate, and teach valuable
life lessons. Each story is accompanied by questions designed to
invoke thought as to how one can apply the lessons learned to
athletics and to the bigger game of life. The stories are rich in
history and are designed to be read in a few minutes. The stories
pay honor to all the young women who compete, and make the attempt
and pursue excellence. These stories of great athletes teach us how
to think positive, to focus our attention on what is important, and
how to overcome obstacles to reach our goals.
