Fast Lane to Victory: The Story of Jenny Thompson (Anything You Can Do... New Sports Heroes for Girls) (Anything You Can Do, 3) Paperback – May 15, 2001

Bought the book for my daughter who wanted to be a swimmer. She loved reading this book.

It was a good book, I enjoyed it!

This book is a great idea. Jenny Thompson is a great choice for an inspirational story for young athletes, but the book is sub-par. The artwork is embarrassingly bad, using crude line drawings. Important obstacles are mentioned without fully being explained as to how they impacted Thompson or how she overcame them. Jenny Thompson's is an inspiring story worthy of a better book

My daughter LOVED this book. She is a competitive swimmer, and this book really inspired her!

Swimming is a sport that attracks so many girls, and this book can help them get a picture of what it means to be a champion. It is an easy read. It reaveals some of the things she struggled with in her life as she grew up. We used this book to write a biography report. The appendix has a list of highlights of Jenny's career, and a history of women's swimming. I also appreciate the "Sports Talk" section that is a spring board for discussing (1) dealing with disappointment, (2)body image, (3) competitive anxiety, (4) benefits of Sports participation for girls, and (5) other general questions about competing in sports.

Libro orientado principalmente a niñas de 8 a 17 años que deseen conocer la figura de Jenny Thompson, sus entrenamientos, sus carreras así como la aceptación de si misma como chica y nadadora.Muy interesante para aquellas famílias que deseen ayudar a orientar a sus hijos o personas próximas como nadadores y entender que ello representa para que tomen sus propias decisiones.
