As Fast As Her: Dream Big, Break Barriers, Achieve Success by Kendall Coyne
3.0
Kendall Coyne remembers her life in hockey, how hockey changed her life, and the pressures and opposition she faced because she was a girl in a boy's sport. At the end of every chapter is a "Golden Coyne" -- a little tip or bit of inspiration to remind the reader to keep going and never give up if they want to achieve greatness, which might be easier said than done if you don't have the support system that she did.
What I missed in this brief memoir was any sense of what she and her family members were like off the ice -- although the way she told it, from her earliest childhood it was really only school and sports and basically nothing else, which is how it is if you're going to be elite, I guess. I guess more non-sports anecdotes would have taken focus away from the theme of the book.
