Resumen del Editor

Teresa Edwards has won more Olympic medals than any other basketball player in history with four golds and one bronze. She is the youngest woman to win a gold medal in basketball - and the oldest. She’s a WNBA pioneer and has been inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Now, for the first time, she shares the story of her greatest loss - and her most incredible victory. She tells the inside story of laboring in the shadow of Michael, Magic, Bird and Sir Charles - the men’s basketball “Dream Team” - and how she helped lead the USA women’s basketball squad to a golden dream of their own at the Atlanta Olympic Games. This is about more than basketball. This is an inspiring tale of what it costs to lose, what it takes to win, and how women can lead the way.

great

great book. you don't have to like sports to enjoy this book. I would recommend this book.

Eye Opening

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this read but I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoy watching sports especially football, soccer, and basketball but there’s so much of it that I don’t understand. I actually felt like I was right there with Teresa and I enjoyed every detail of her shared life experiences. Thank you Teresa!

Inspiring!

A wonderful behind the scenes look from the eyes of a legend. Very well written and narrated. Candid, fascinating, and inspiring.

A great experience from start to finish

I loved loved loved this experience!

I was interested in the story from the beginning knowing how important the USA Women Basketball team was to us as U.S citizens. But to know what Teresa went through and how she overcame and responded was a display of resilience we could all learn from. I highly recommend this audible to anyone who’s a fan of basketball and stories of black greatness. Thank you Teresa 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Simply Amazing!

Excellent story of perseverance and owning your own circle. What an amazing accomplishment and a role model to many.

A great listen.

I didn’t really know Teresa before now but I love her story and how she laid it out.

Her love and devotion to the game!

How can anyone find anything wrong or bad about her-sharing her life story. Facts a story a white woman never heard. I loved basketball but never got picked to play unless all the players had fouls. I just sat on the bench.
Thanks for the story and commitment, it’s why I can watch women play March Madness.
CONGRATULATIONS I TOTALLY-UNDERSTAND your loss.

Loved every minute!

I loved the story telling ability of Teresa! This was a great book and I appreciate all the unknown stories.

Loving it Tee

This took me back to the days when Women basketball was becoming Big. The ABL came next and our women ballers came home to play….at least part time. Maybe after this BG it will come home fore good with more $$$$$$$! Story was outstanding!

Easy, inspiring listen

So, the only things me and Edwards have in common, at first sight at least, is our same given name and being women. That is enough for me to get interested.

But she is very articulate, unapologetic, energetic and fair in her storytelling. She is relatable without asking for pity. And while I know nothing about basketball, and wasn't alive or aware enough to watch these events, she has become a hero to me over the last three hours, as I saw myself in her, although with different circumstances.~

Highly recommend.
