In Their Own Words

With all of the pressure and distractions of modern student life, young athletes really have to focus their energy if they want to achieve their goals as student-athletes. Two-time softball Olympic gold medalist Michele Smith teams up with Lawrence Hsieh to talk directly to student-athletes in fourth through ninth grades and beyond to help them develop the leadership, practice, and intangible skills necessary to become the best student-athletes and softball players that they can be. Includes chapters on leadership, opportunity, teamwork, proactive practice, perseverance, exercise and conditioning, community service, and much more.
