Lädt ... As Fast As Her: Dream Big, Break Barriers, Achieve Successvon Kendall Coyne
Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  Kristelh | Apr 8, 2023 |   young reader nonfiction - inspirational biography/memoir, female hockey player (with the strong support of her parents and family and help from a few encouraging coaches) fights for a place on the rink (when there are literally no local girls' hockey leagues to accommodate her and very few opportunities) and becomes a multiple world champion, 2x olympic medalist, and an activist for women's equality in sports. TW/CW: sexist comments, misogyny (including malicious hot-penny dropping on the ice), attacks on the ice by other players resulting in multiple wrist injuries. I'm not a hockey fan but Kendall (who also earned a BS and and a MS in communications WHILE TRAINING TO COMPETE AT THE INTERNATIONAL LEVEL) is a skilled writer who evokes the thrill and joy of the game. An inspiring story for any girl or person who has ever been told they can't do something. (  ) reader1009 | Oct 20, 2022 | Gmomaj | Aug 4, 2022 | Never neglecting her school work, she powered through the lessons and concentrated on any weak things that needed to be strengthened. Winning a gold and silver at the Olympics, teaching young kids how to play, she shared her knowledge with others and was looking for ways for improvement. She has her share of injuries during the game and endured a lot of pain with wrist that was repeatidly broken. I recommend her book to young adults interested in sports and learning inspiration from what she does and says. (  ) Carolee888 | Feb 5, 2022 | Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"In this inspiring book, US Olympian and hockey star Kendall Coyne shares the grit and determination it took to break down barriers and achieve her dreams against tremendous odds, encouraging young people to follow their 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 and naysayers, and pushed herself past barriers to achieve her goals-and how you can too! Inside, Kendall shares: stories that illustrate the lessons she's learned and how to apply them for success encouragement to help young people know they are good enough-to fit in, to find their "why," and to create lasting change for others her personal trials and triumphs, inspiring readers to discover what excites and exhausts them-and help them to be as relentless in achieving their own goals behind-the-scenes and personal photos in a full-color 8-page insert"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Kendall Coyne is an American ice hockey professional and Olympic gold medalist. This is her story of how she achieved success. She was born in 1992 and played hockey from an early age. The book was published in 2022. It's an inspirational book and written very positively. While she explores the difficulties she doesn't dwell on them other than barriers that she had to overcome.
You would think I was a big hockey fan. In fact, I never watch hockey, I don't go to hockey games but this is my third book about hockey. I guess hockey makes interesting writing. I would recommend Beartown and Indian Horse as good stories of boys hockey. This is girls hockey and a real thing. Minnesota is mentioned in the book and Kendall actually played for a Minnesota team at one time. (
