My 10 year old loves this book!! She has been working on pitching but after reading this book she is completely inspired to put in the work, believe in herself, and having fun doing what she loves. Today at pitching practice she threw an especially good pitching, pumped her fist and said âthank you, Jennie Finch!!â

Great gift for the young people in your life
At the NYC marathon, Jennie Finch was running for charity. She was given the last place number and starting time, and money for charity was raised for each person she passed. I joked with friends prior to running that in view of this I would allow her to pass me if I saw her, and puncuated that promise with “as if I could stop her!” (As predicted, she did pass me and finished before me).There is no doubt that Jennie Finch is a world-class athlete. Her long lists of accomplishments on the softball field speak for themselves. In Throw Like a Girl, we get to read her background story and philosophy of life. Much hangs around softball, of course, but the lessons she aims at young women (and I would argue at young men as well) go beyond the playing field. There are frank discussions of peer pressure and body image and peer relationships and balance in one’s life. In a world that seems to honor celebrity, regardless of the reason, this book stands in strong contrast. Readers are told in no uncertain terms that they need to think out the consequences of their actions in view of the long-term benefits and drawbacks (e.g., Jennie’s decision to turn down offers from certain men’s magazines and the reasons she did so). There are no-nonsense statements about what it takes to be successful, and readers are told quite bluntly that success comes from hard work, not from updating your facebook status. This is excellent reading for the young people in your life, particularly girls, as they struggle with the pressures of their age and deciding who they want to be. This has been a “go to” present for families with young girls/women this holiday season.

Teaches more than just softball!
This is a great book! My 10 year old daughter is just learning to be a pitcher and LOVES this book! As a Dad, I spend a lot of time with her. Practicing, encouraging, correcting and it is something that brings us together. This book teaches her things I as a father can’t. Like how to handle teams, coaches, disappointments, balancing girl things, etc. My daughter loves the book but as a Dad, I love that she talks to me about things because of this book! Something happens in a game and she will come to me and say, “I read about this in Jenny Finch’s book and she said the same thing happened to her!” Then we can talk about it. Without the book, I think she would just try to internalize it and get frustrated and down. It is great for kids to see even someone like Jenny struggled with things.

Great role model
Jenny touches on positives and negatives of being a standout athlete, including effects of good and bad coaches (in all levels of play) and effects on school and social life. I have a junior high travel team granddaughter, and it was good for her to see that Jenny also struggled in some of the same situations.

An excellent book for an adolescent girl, interested in sports. As a parent, of a former athlete it made me feel that the sacrifices made were worth the time, expense and effort were worth it. I bought it for my grand daughter, but she is too young to really understand the message, yet. Her father is going to read the book and Jenny Finch’s philosophy should help him support his daughter’s interests. The book helps girls build self worth by reinforcing positive body images and illustrating what a life dedicated to sports can add to a person’s life.
