Praise for Games Girls Play
"Valuable advice on how to guide a young woman through the empowering lessons sports can bring."—Los Angeles Times
"Offers a wealth of wisdom on how to build the kind of support system that disciplines a young competitor's mind to work with her rather than against her."—The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)
"Comprehensive . . . valuable . . . The heart of the book is Silby's healthy attitude toward sports and the wellness of young women. Though her argument is directed at parents, athletes themselves would be well served by the lessons in this book.—Kirkus Reviews
