This Got Her Off The Bench

My daughter loves basketball but often gets too nervous to really take charge on the court. She needed a push to believe in herself more. This audiobook was a huge help. It tells these fantastic stories about girls who faced real challenges, which made her feel less alone.

Such fun and highly inspirational!

This audiobook surprised me with its honest, relatable stories about girls who love basketball and strive to lead, even when it’s hard. Each chapter felt like a pep talk I wish I’d had growing up—real lessons in building confidence and bouncing back from setbacks, both on the court and in everyday life. The narrator’s tone is upbeat but never cheesy, and I found myself rooting for the girls and absorbing their advice. If you know a young athlete (or just want a fresh perspective on resilience), this is worth listening to all the way through. Five stars for inspiration and authenticity!
