Joan Steidinger has brought to life a subject that has confused and frustrated many coaches and athletes for decades. Women are not small men! We are different in all aspects of training, competition, and sporting life from our male counterparts. Steidinger has done a fantastic job of explaining these differences and gives us a better understanding of how our physiology, emotions, and outlook on life shape the way we train and compete. This is a must read for all athletes and coaches!--Alison Dunlap, two-time Olympian road and mountain biking and World cross country mountain bike Champion 2001

After reading Sisterhood in Sports not only do I now better understand myself as a life long athlete, but I feel better prepared to support my daughter as she navigates through middle and high school sports. This book is packed with in-depth research, relevant examples and specific, actionable suggestions on how to enable a female athlete to thrive in sports and in life.--Kami Semick, 2009 100K World Champion Ultrarunner

I had Dr. Joan Steidinger come and talk and work with my women's track and cross country teams, the results were unbelievable.

High Fives to Steidinger. This book showcases the power of sport in the lives of girls and women.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Sisterhood in Sports: How Female Athletes Collaborate and Compete tells the stories of all kinds of female athletes in a variety of sports. Their natural tendency to use talking as a primary form of communication is essential to their experiences and successes in sports. Women and girls tend to have BFFs, collaborate during periods of stress, express empathy for one another, worry about themselves and others, and desire to have fun in sports, which makes their experiences of sports and competition different from their male counterparts. Female strengths are grounded in both mind and body, and they take these strengths onto the court, field, and track.There are now dozens of studies showing how the female brain and hormones operate quite differently than those of men. This book reveals the ways in which these differences confirm that intense emotions about relationships are part of the sporting life for female competitors. Joan Steidinger uses real stories to show that women and girls compete at very high levels, but also have a different view of their teammates and opponents, one based on relationships and communication, that impacts performance both on and off the field. They enjoy and revel in sisterhood, even as they fight to win. Understanding this need for connection helps us better understand how female athletes succeed and perform both in sports and in life. Female athletes and anyone who works with them will learn how to better facilitate mastery, competition, collaboration, and connection on and off the field the practice of female collaborative competition. Sisterhood in Sports reveals what drives the female athlete: communication, camaraderie, competition, collaboration, and community. Steidinger illustrates through real stories that the relationships they create, even among rivals, helps to keep them driven, engaged, and connected to their game and their lives beyond the sport.
