Author Description

Award-winning athlete Mariah Burton Nelson urges women to stop denying that they're competitive. She teaches them how to compete without losing their dignity and sense of humor. She shows how competition can, under the right circumstances, enhance both intimacy and success at work, at home, and in sports. She challenges women to follow in the footsteps of the female athletes who compete openly. Using personal stories, interviews with more than 200 women, and research involving a thousand women and girls nationwide, Nelson counsels women to embrace victory as a Champion does: honorably, compassionately, with intensity and integrity.
