Throw Like A Girl

Throw Like A Girl is an autobiography by Jennie Finch.  Jennie Finch is an olympic softball player for Team America and in her book it explains her journey and lessons she learned leading up to and after the olympics. Jennie taught that there is room in sports to be different even though it doesn't seem like it.  There are girls who show up to get dirty and play hard and there are girls who show up with ribbons in their hair looking nice, but still play just as hard.  She calls these girls "pink girls". She also shares an experience of hers when her travel coach in middle school told her that she was not a "championship pitcher".  This did not discourage her however she decided to show him up and prove to him and to herself that she was way more than a championship pitcher, a 2 time olympic pitcher.  She also explains the importance of her fans and all the support she receives at home, she shows this by providing camps to help young girls become better pitchers or any type of softball player.  Jennie Finch is an inspiration to many girls and I hope one day to be an inspiration to others as she is to me.
