Gameface: The Kick-Ass Guide for Women Who Love Pro Sports

by Erica Boeke

Here at last is a book for women who love professional sports that is at once smart and saucy, deep and dishy. It's not a book for women who want to impress their husbands or boyfriends. It's not a book that gets all worked up over Title IX or Mia Hamm or the virtues of the WNBA. And it's not a book with a pink cover.In short, the joy and passion of following pro sports is too often eclipsed by an emphasis on factoids and statistics, and here, finally,...

Awsome guide for Men and Women

I bought this book for my wife, but I enjoyed reading it as much as she did. It was intriguing to hear the voice of female sports fans speak on how and why they love the game, and how that their passion is different yet at the same time similar to my own. I can't imagine a better book to get you into the head of a female sports fan (especially important for single guys). If I was the marketing director for any professional sports franchise I would make this required reading for my entire staff. The icing on the cake is that the writing is superb and very humorous; I had a smile on my face and a giggle in my belly the whole time I was reading it. I highly recommend it as an excellent gift for women who watch pro sports (or for men that watch women that watch pro sports).

Funny and Smart!

Finally! A book that is TRULY for women who love sports. The book is intelligent, funny and informative. I'm recommending GameFace to all of my female (and even some male) sports fan friends!

Laugh Out Loud Good!!!

A great read, laughed out loud! Great stories you had forgotten about, and many more that you didn't even know about! It was the perfect mix of facts, and gossip....my favorite!

laugh out loud funny

This book is funny, smart and extremely entertaining. I loved every little bit and highly recommend! Erica Boeke makes me proud to be a woman who loves sports!

Finally!

I LOVE this book! I'm a massive hockey, soccer & college football fan and FINALLY, a book about sports that I truly enjoyed reading. Topics include music, food, SWAGs (sports wives & girlfriends) and my favorite...fashion! If you love sports but also have style advice for team owners & GMs (please have some decent NHL gear designed for women - I'm talking to you Lou Lamoriello) and have something to say about the Madonna A-Rod scandal, GameFace is for you. A funny and informative read for all female fans!
