Champions Are Raised Not Born

Ever wonder what it takes to raise a champion-in sports, in work, or in life? Discover the secrets of triumphant parenting--and raising a child who excels. Summer Sanders won more medals than any other American swimmer at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. After retiring, she has continued to charm America as a TV commentator and media celebrity. And wherever she goes, parents ask: what gave her the drive to consistently give all she had, no matter what the challenge? How did she develop her self-assurance and raw courage? What did her parents do right? Now Summer Sanders provides compelling, surprisingly simple answers for all parents--whether your child is gifted in sports, in school, or the arts--from the unique perspective of a child who became the world's best in her field. Enriched by advice from a host of other Olympic athletes, Champions Are Raised, Not Born reveals what truly develops a champion. How to recognize a child's true talent. How to provide family support (even if parents are divorced). How to nurture mental toughness and self-confidence. How to encourage your child to become a team player. How to help your child realize her dream without sacrificing her childhood. Winning, losing, and getting both right in life.

From the Hoover vacuum cleaner to the fax machine, from the pill to reproductive rights, from Rosie the Riveter to Martha Stewart and Hillary Rodham Clinton, American women have grappled with a sometimes dizzying rate of social and economic change and continually shifting conceptions of gender. This collection of documents seeks to chronicle the exciting and tumultuous recent history of American women, beginning with the watershed event of World War II and the lasting impact of the war effort on women's social and economic opportunities. Subsequent documents speak to the ideas and changes brought about by the women's movement; the challenges to and defense of reproductive rights; the backlash against feminism in the name of family values; and new visions for women's lives in the twenty-first century.
