With the phenomenal success of the England Football team at the
Euros 2022, this book meets the renewed interest in women in sport.
It provides a fascinating overview of the history of women in sport
from centuries past to the present day, demonstrating the leaps
forward that sportswomen have taken since 1945, as well as an
inspiring account of great female Paralympians. The 25 profiles of
incredible female pioneers and legends evidence the grit and
determination required to challenge discrimination, to break
records and demolish outdated notions of the weaker sex. The recent
investment in women's sports, as seen for football, rugby and
cricket, has driven greater popularity and success. This book also
includes a wonderful selection of interviews with over 25 women
competing in a wide range of sports today, as well as leading
figures in the industry, coaches, referees, presenters, and
broadcasters. Includes colour photos throughout.
A brilliant book. Read immediately' Claudia Winkleman A
fascinating, inspiring and funny memoir from much-loved broadcaster
Gabby Logan When I sat down to write this book, I was really not
keen on the idea of writing a biography that charted my life in a
regular, linear fashion. Largely because I thought that nobody
would be interested in how well I did in my maths GCSE ( C ) or
what my first dog was called (Sadie). But looking back over my life
I realise we are all a product of the things that happen to us
along the way, even the most fleeting of conversations with a
stranger, and by gathering my turning points and life-changing
moments together, I have found a way of telling the story of my
life - a story of family, love, loss, determination, devastating
lows and the highest of highs. Whether it's presenting the
Olympics, dancing on Strictly or chatting to guests on her hugely
popular podcast, Gabby Logan has been a much-loved broadcaster and
a fixture in our lives for over 25 years. In this, her first ever
book, Gabby takes us through the story of her life through the
turning points and important events that have led her to where she
is today. Just how did the little girl who lay in bed pondering the
big questions like Why do I matter? Why was I born? end up as a
woman who dropped her physics GCSE at the first chance and now
talks on telly for a living? Gabby talks candidly about the highs,
lows, loves and losses she's experienced. Whether it's the
heart-breaking early death of her brother, her father's alcoholism,
navigating sexism at work or the time she almost became the Rose of
Tralee by accident, The First Half is an entertaining, absorbing,
inspirational memoir which will make you laugh and cry. 'A lovely
read for women who love to read about inspiring women' - Lorraine
