Tennis legend Billie Jean King profiles 11 of today’s pioneering athletes in women's sports in this inspiring nonfiction book written with noted journalist Liz Robbins and based on exclusive interviews that will empower athletes and sports fans ages 12 and up.
Billie Jean King made history in her 1973 "Battle of the Sexes" tennis match against Bobby Riggs. She proved women athletes were as capable, determined, and worth watching as men. Now, she highlights the trailblazing women and nonbinary athletes of today who are proving the same thing every time they play.
In See It To Be It, written by Billie Jean King with Liz Robbins, readers will learn about superstars athletes like tennis player Naomi Osaka and WNBA sensation Caitlin Clark, as well as players on the rise, such as Paralympic swimmer McKenzie Coan and Kendall Coyne Schofield of the gold medal-winning US Olympic hockey team. Based on exclusive interviews and featuring never-before-published photos, this electrifying book shares true stories that will energize young athletes and prove that legends aren’t just born, they’re made—both on and off the playing field.
Athletes profiled are Caitlin Clark (basketball), Diana Flores (flag football), Kendall Coyne Schofield (hockey), Midge Purce (soccer), Asjia O’Neal (volleyball), Kelsie Whitmore (baseball), Amit Elor (wrestling), McKenzie Coan (swimming), Nikki Hiltz (track), Chelsea Gray (basketball), and Naomi Osaka (tennis).
