Who better to share the stories of female firsts in sports than Laflin? Her wide-ranging career path includes stints as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, sports broadcaster, and first female NBA scout (for the Los Angeles Lakers). This easy-to-read collection of interviews with 19 women spotlights well-known athletes such as Billie Jean King (tennis) and Laila Ali (boxing) as well as those less familiar, like Martha Josey (barrel racing) and Army veteran Melissa Stockwell (Paralympic triathlete and swimmer). What makes this book stand out is the inclusion of women in the sports industry, like NFL executive Amy Trask and New York Yankees baseball manager Rachel Balkovec. Each entry is informative, with shared wisdom and entertaining anecdotes.... Laflin celebrates women who share a drive to succeed in the sports world. As track-and-field titan Jackie Joyner-Kersee poignantly notes, “As a society, we must embrace and celebrate and help our young people to have fun while on their journey to becoming the best.”"
