Sports Book of the Year 2022 Winner
Run Like a Girl is a collection of fascinating biographical stories
about 50 highly successful sportswomen, from the most decorated track
athlete ever Allyson Felix to tennis legend Serena Williams and
ground-breaking ballet dancer Misty Copeland. All over the world, there
are female athletes breaking barriers, pushing limits and achieving
amazing things, but where did their journeys begin? And what challenges
did they have to overcome to get where they are today? As well as giving
an insight into their influences, motivations and achievements, each
story reminds us that failing can teach us just as much as winning;
success isn't limited to the sports field; and 'running like a girl' can
lead you all the way to the top.
