    “Book Descriptions: In this inspiring book, US Olympian and hockey star Kendall Coyne shares the grit and determination it took to break down barriers and achieve her dreams against tremendous odds, encouraging young people to follow their passions and never give up.

    The world told Kendall Coyne to slow down. They said “not so fast” when she picked up hockey skates instead of figure skates. They said “just a minute” when she tried out for the boy's team. They told her “you're not enough” so often that she started to believe it. But Kendall had a passion and a dream, so instead of slowing down, she sped up, going on to win Olympic gold and a place at the NHL’s All-Star weekend.

    As Fast as Her explores how Kendall held on to her dream, overcame her insecurities and naysayers, and pushed herself past barriers to achieve her goals—and how you can too! Inside, Kendall shares:


    stories that illustrate the lessons she's learned and how to apply them for success
    encouragement to help young people know they are good enough—to fit in, to find their “why,” and to create lasting change for others
    her personal trials and triumphs, inspiring readers to discover what excites and exhausts them—and help them to be as relentless in achieving their own goals
    behind-the-scenes and personal photos in a full-color 8-page insert 
    In addition, As Fast as Her is perfect for:


    readers 13 and up looking for an uplifting true story
    fans of the NHL, NWHL, Olympic hockey, and women's sports
    birthday, Christmas, and holiday gifts for teens and young adults”
