It's Not About The Bra: How to Play Hard, Play Fair, and Put the Fun Back into Competitive Sports (inscribed first edition)
New York: HarperResource, 2004. First edition. Hardcover. First edition. INSCRIBED BY CHASTAIN ON THE TITLE PAGE: "Dear Taylor/Brandi Chastain/ 6 USA." Hardcover. 197pp with appendix and photographs. When Brandi Chastain famously stripped off her jersey to celebrate her World Cup-winning penalty kick, the gesture represented not only the essence of athletic triumph but the joy of a competitor who knows how to play hard and still have fun. Now, in 'It's Not About the Bra', Chastain steps out from behind her iconic image to deliver an important wake-up call to competitive youth sports. Drawing on anecdotes from her own storied career as well as those of her coaches and celebrated teammates, Chastain tackles the thorny issues of sportsmanship, gamesmanship, and parental involvement gone too far, while teaching young athletes how to develop leadership skills, find (and become) role models, and give something back to their team and community.
