Win Like A Girl

"""We see girls and women becoming more empowered to be leaders on the field, in the boardroom, and everywhere in between. Win Like a Girl provides today's and tomorrow's leaders with the roadmap and inspiration to achieve greatness beyond their dreams. I hope the rest of the world understands how valuable Maureen's work is, particularly with young women."" --TJ Buchanan, Director of Sport Development, World Lacrosse ""When it comes to inspiring, coaching, and supporting young women athletes, Maureen Monte is my immediate go-to, and Win Like a Girl is a must-read for anyone who wants to help girls stay in the game."" --KJ Dell'Antonio, author of How to Be a Happier Parent and former editor of the New York Times' Motherlode. ""For nearly three decades, I had the honor of serving with the highest performing team on the planet. I learned that the people I lead have a vote in what they do and how well they do it. Leaders cannot treat their people like equipment. They must have a profound connection with those in their charge. Maureen Electa Monte accomplishes this goal with a robust process that should be followed by anyone seeking to get the most out of their teams."" --Shane McKenzie, U.S. Navy SEAL Master Chief (Ret) ""Win Like a Girl neatly lays out deep truths around what it means to be a strong leader in service of some of the most vulnerable members of society: girls.

I want to coach Lexie, a struggling character in the story, and turn her into a powerful girl!"" --Coach Joanna Lignelli ""The activities in the Win Like a Girl framework are absolute gold. Any coach serious about building confidence in their female athletes and developing 'powerful girls' rather than faux 'girl power' needs to read this book now."" --Coach Keith Brisotti ""Maureen's framework helped me use my voice and mentor my players to use their voices with confidence. It also helped me manage team conflict. The scenes in this book are very real - the coach's interactions with parents, athletes, and administration. I've been coaching for 12 years and wish I'd had Win Like a Girl from the very beginning."" --Coach Kali Bills ""Win Like a Girl is an invaluable resource! Maureen guided the Wales Women's Lacrosse National team through the many challenges that elite athletes face on and off the field, deepening individual and team confidence. Their mental game peaked which elevated their physical game to new heights. Read this book to be empowered, confident, and courageous while rocking the athletic field, court, or pool!"" --Coach Erica Erb ""As a lifelong athlete and sportswriter, I'd like to think sports help girls and young women develop confidence.
