MMcDonald.ELA2 | Jan 13, 2020 |   In the book, Rising Above Inspiring Women in Sports tells of real-life stories of female superstar athletes Simone Biles, Venus and Serena Williams, Carli Lloyd, and many more role models. Simone Biles grew up with only her mother, which had addiction issues, and soon went to live with her grandparents. Simone soon discovered her talent for gymnastics, doing tricks on balance beams and mats, which quickly lead her to a life filled with Olympic greatness. Venus and Serena Williams had to conquer racial barriers in tennis for them to come out as legends. Carli Lloyd has praised all her life for her incredible talent in soccer, but as soon as she entered a world with other talented players she lacked and was cut from the team. Instead of quitting, Carli built her confidence back up and went on to become one of the leaders on the World Cup Champion US Women's Soccer team. Elena Delle Donne was impacted by the needs of a family member and Bethany Hamilton faced serious setbacks like many others. All of these athletes and many more in the book faced their challenges head-on and they ultimately emerged as inspirational leaders. Opinion Paragraph: In the book, Rising Above Inspiring Women in Sports, each story has a common theme of turning to others for help. This isn't a sign of weakness as one may think, this is a sign of integrity and being honest with yourself that you need help from others. This theme sets a good example for young athletes and for them to ask for help when needed. The books may also help athletes realize their successes and failures and for them to be honest with themselves. In conclusion, this book gives any person of any age self-empowerment and is a source of inspiration. (  )1  KEdwards.ELA4 | Jan 7, 2020 | nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"Behold the power of women! These are the inspirational real-life stories of female superstar athletes Serena and Venus Williams, Simone Biles, Carli Lloyd, and more -- role models all. For sports fans, aspiring athletes and readers of sports biographies. Growing up in a crime-plagued, gang-infested neighborhood, Venus and Serena Williams were led to believe their environment was not a place where dreams could come true. It took a relentless determination, a burning desire to be the best, and a willingness to conquer racial barriers for them to emerge as tennis legends. Simone Biles was raised by a single mother with addiction issues, forcing her grandparents to intervene. But Simone soon discovered balance beams and gymnastics mats, setting her on a path toward Olympic greatness. Carli Lloyd, meanwhile, believed her youth soccer career was really starting to take off, only to be cut from her team. Instead of quitting the sport she loved, Carli rebuilt her confidence from the ground up, ultimately becoming one of the leaders on the World Cup Champion US Women's Soccer team. The athletes featured in this book met earth-shaking challenges head on, and through hard work and perseverance, went on to conquer the sports world. This collection of mini biographies, complete with first-hand content drawn from interviews, is a source of inspiration and self-empowerment for kids and sports fans of all ages. Also included in the book: Wilma Rudolph (track and field), Mo'ne Davis (Little League baseball), Swin Cash (basketball), Elena Delle Donne (basketball), Bethany Hamilton (surfing), Ronda Rousey (mixed martial arts), and Kerri Strug (gymnastics).

I would recommend this book as it has a very powerful message. Strongly toward women. Nonetheless, it sends a message that it doesn't matter what gender, background, or color you are, you can achieve greatness just like everyone else. This speaks to me greatly, not just because I am female, but because it speaks volumes about how people are made to feel bad about themselves for being different. Which, at least in my opinion, I think everyone can relate to. In addition, I truly believe this book is a positively amazing read because it motivates and encourages anyone and everyone to be their best self. Not only that, but it lets everyone know that it's ok to be you and only you. Which, I think, is the most important lesson that any one of us can learn in our short and precious lifetime. (
