Description

Good for a Girl is a powerful and personal account of one woman's journey through the world of elite athletics. Lauren Fleshman's story is a raw and honest exploration of the challenges faced by female athletes, from the highs of success to the lows of injury and self-doubt.

Part memoir, part manifesto, Good for a Girl is a call to action for change in the way we think about girls and women in elite sports. With unflinching candour, Fleshman shares her own experiences as a collegiate athlete, national champion, and coach, and argues for a better way forward for female athletes.

This book has already been hailed as a game-changer in the world of women's sports, and its message is more urgent than ever. If you're interested in the experiences of female athletes, or in the ways in which we can create a more inclusive and supportive sporting culture, then Good for a Girl is a worthwhile read.
