Customer Reviews

Excellent

Susan Wilson sets out a comprehensive, well-thought-out plan for helping girls build a foundation to become active and stay active throughout life. Excellent insights into how girls learn and play differently from boys. I was even able to understand why I personally did poorly in sports as a child and why it has taken me another 15 years to overcome that and become active as an adult. A must-read for anyone interested in coaching girls.

Attachment Sports Finds a Voice

As the director of the Attachment Living Institute(http://www.attachmentliving.bizland.com) we found that the ideas, programs, and principles of Susan Wilson's book, Sports Her Way, were entirely compatible with our mission. As the mother of a young boy, the information also works with him, so even if you are not the parents of a girl, you'll find this information to be rewarding, useful, and instructive.
