The Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy was started in 2006 and the author uses the Academy's Leadership Rings to organize her book. Developing leadership starts with the self and as the rings move outward, the impact gets larger until we reach the largest ring entitled "life." This book encourages a young person to grow and make an impact beyond self.
I like it when I come across the occasional book designed to motivate and encourage a young person. That's what Choose to Matter by Julie Foudy is designed to do. This book is written based on what the author calls "sock talks." She sat down with a panel of successful women to find out how to make an impact in life. This book not only gives advice, it encourages the young reader to develop into the strong, unique person that is fabulously them. Young people do not need to be a cookie cutter copy of what we think a successful young person should look like. Each person should develop their own strengths and become the best person they, as an individual, can be.
