Women in sports - to the next generation

I’m a proud female player in a sport that has historically been dominated by men. I’ve grown up playing with the boys and to see this space grow around me has been an emotional, gruelling and beautiful ride. My sister-in-law just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, and I can’t wait to share this book with her and inspire her to be part of the wonderful world of women in sports 💕

Inspiring book for kids

My 8 year old boy/girl twins absolutely loved The Catcher With Heart! It’s such a sweet, fun story with a great message about following your dreams, being brave, and believing in yourself. A wonderful book for kids, especially little sports lovers!
