Dream big, follow your passion and never give up. Decorated US
Olympian and accomplished hockey star Kendall Coyne shares the grit and
determination it took to break down barriers and achieve her dreams
against tremendous odds, encouraging you to follow your passions and
never give up.
The world told Kendall Coyne to slow down. They said "not so fast" when
she picked up hockey skates instead of figure skates. They said "just a
minute" when she tried out for the boy's team. They told her "you're not
enough" so often that she started to believe it. But Kendall had a
passion and a dream, so instead of slowing down, she sped up, going on
to win Olympic gold and a spot in the Fastest Skater Competition at the
2019 NHL All-Star Weekend.
As Fast as Her explores how Kendall held on to her dream, overcame her
insecurities, defied her naysayers, and pushed herself past barriers to
achieve her goals--and how you can too! Inside this inspirational,
sports-meets-real-life inspirational autobiography, Kendall shares:
