Good for a Girl

My Life Running in a Man's World - WINNER OF THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2023

Beschreibung

Lauren Fleshman has grown up in the world of running. One of the most decorated collegiate athletes of all time and a national champion as a pro, she was a major face of women's running for Nike before leaving to shake up the industry with feminist running brand Oiselle and coach elite young female runners. Every step of the way, she has seen how our sports systems - originally designed by men, for men and boys - fail young women and girls as much as empower them. Girls drop out of sports at alarming rates once they hit puberty, and female collegiate athletes routinely fall victim to injury, eating disorders or mental health struggles as they try to force their way past a natural dip in performance for women of their age. Part memoir, part manifesto, Good for a Girl is Fleshman's story of falling in love with running as a girl, battling devastating injuries and self-doubt, and daring to fight for a better way for female athletes. 'Women's sports have needed a manifesto for a long time, and with Lauren Fleshman's Good for a Girl, we finally have one' Malcolm Gladwell
