Making the Impossible Possible. Review of "Embracing Victory: Life Lessons in Competition and Compassion," by Mariah Burton Nelson.
Lenk, Linda L.
Journal for a Just and Caring Education, v4 n4 p467-70 Oct 1998
An adolescent aversion to competition helped the reviewer/marathoner appreciate Mariah Burton Nelson's "Embracing Victory: Life Lessons in Competition and Compassion" (Morrow, 1998). Nelson, a former collegiate and professional basketball player, focuses on female athletes' and nonathletes' attitudes about numerous competition-related topics. Women athletes valued winning on their own terms. (MLH)
