jacobthebookworm's review against another edition

As has been the case with the last two books I read, I knew very little about Tamika Catchings going into this book. I knew that she played at Tennessee under Pat Summitt, for the Indiana Fever in the WNBA, and won 3 gold medals with USA (2004, 2008, 2012)
This good was full of information. I learned a lot about Catchings' life that is not always under the spotlight. Early in her life, Catchings struggled with bullying. She had a hearing condition and wore large hearing aids early in life. This, combined with glasses and later braces, was like a gold mine for bullies. She overcame this to become one of the greatest women's basketball players in history.

I quite enjoyed this book, but I am a basketball lover. I knew very little about Catchings background, so her childhood, high school, and college stories were all exciting and new to me. She was clearly an amazing basketball player who won championships at all levels of basketball, and I found her story of drive and tenacity to stick with it very inspiring.
The book isn't super well-written, and would probably drag for others who aren't interested in so many basketball game details. But I enjoyed listening to her whole story (and I sped up the reading so the details went by quickly). I could relate to several things - moving in high school, tearing her acl, and turning to God throughout her life.

One for Sports Fans
I do enjoy listening to memoirs and biographies, so although I'm not a sports fan and know absolutely nothing about basketball, I thought I'd give this a go for review purposes. The author Tamika Catchings comes across as a very genuine person who works really hard at whatever she does, whether on the court or off. I liked the way she down played talent for hard work that got her where she was in the game. The narrator does a good job making it easy to listen to and understand.I would definitely recommend this to sports lovers and particularly basketball fans.Thanks to christianaudio.com Reviewer's Program for the free copy of this audio.
