Review
"Inspiring in many ways, this will be meat and potatoes to girls with their own basketball aspirations." (Kirkus Reviews)"Elena Delle Donne is one of the great role models in sports today. She's a terrific athlete who has written a wonderful book that is riveting, compelling and honest. Elena's story is an inspiration to anyone who loves and plays sports." (Christine Brennan, USA Today sports columnist, CNN and ABC News commentator, best-selling author)“Elena is one of the brightest stars in our game today and an iconic role model. My Shot reveals not only her competitive spirit, but most importantly her character and commitment to her craft. This relatable story will provide inspiration to young athletes everywhere, regardless of sport.” (Lisa M. Borders, WNBA President)"Sports lovers, especially girls, will find an encouraging story of a sports celebrity who was able to deal with the challenges that came her way." (VOYA)"The difficulties she’s experienced—a best friend’s suicide, chronic Lyme disease, stress, injuries, team defeats, bad press—make her heartfelt advice to young people powerful and true." (Booklist)“Ahh, I love how candid and real Elena is in this book. No, everything is not perfect and she gives so many wonderful insights on how much pressure we put on ourselves as young women and equally important, how to deal with that pressure in a healthy and positive way. Because when you lose the idea of making everyone else happy, you begin the joyful process of living life courageously.” (Julie Foudy, Two-time FIFA World Cup Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist)"Sports-minded teens will devour this fast-paced narrative." (School Library Journal)

Elena's story is relatable for any woman who has played sports... of course, few have ever played at the level she is capable of. It is an especially good book for parents who have girls struggling because they are "different"! Is she the tallest child in her class (including boys)? Girls struggle with these things, and any one of them could use a story like Elena's... how to deal with "difference", overcome it and rise to the top!I remember reading about Elena in an article in Sports Illustrated when she was a high school senior... It was, of course, about UCONN recruiting her. I had forgotten until my "daughter", who had recently bought a home in DE, heard on morning radio that a Philly station was going to televise a DE WBB game that night. We watched with mouths agape... what a sweet jump shot. We went to many games her junior year, tho I had to drive quite a ways. We realized we'd need season tickets her senior year if we were going to see a game. What a great time... and the NCAA regional in DE was incredible.Elena's basketball is AMAZING, BUT... from interactions with her, she is a genuinely nice person. She always makes a point to interact with the young girls, and boys, who want her autograph or a picture with her.If you have a teen/tween who is struggling with "difference" I highly recommend this book for them.I'm in my 70"s and enjoyed it too!!
Great book. I am an Elena Delle Donne fan, to let you know in case you sense some bias. What follows was going to be my concluding statement, but I think it captures the essence of the book, so I am going to state it here. Throughout the book, Elena's work ethic and determination to improve her game is evident. Near the end, she says Kobe Bryant told her she should have a power phrase, a motivating phrase. She considers "seek perfection", as a mantra. I am thinking, "no, no, no", the desire for perfection has sometimes taken you off course. This book, your story, is about the ups and downs of life, about your humanity. The value of the book is that you shared experiences that others can relate to, that would make you someone people would want to know. After reading the book, they would want to know the person, not the mega superstar. Relief, she tones it down a bit, just a bit :) with "demand excellence", knowing that everything will not be flawless.Here's more about the book. I was most interested in her exit from Connecticut and what was going through her mind. She amply shares that with us. Good reading, but no shocking revelation, as it makes sense to me that anyone, much less an 18-yr old, who is questioning their interest in the game, should certainly do so before committing to the 4-year demands of a Geno Auriemma coached team. (this is no knock on a guy, who is a proven winner).Chapters include the following events: early years in basketball (quite a bit on that, early family relationships (a major aspect of her life); high school basketball; the post-high school burnout phase; Lyme disease bouts (and not knowing what is wrong), university volleyball team; entrance into WNBA in Chicago; international and Olympic basketball (not so much of interest to me compared to other things, but you can see how important it was to her and how much enjoyment she got from playing with her superstar peers); more WNBA and her motivation to move to a new team, the Washington Mystics; her romantic relationship and engagement (I thought she shared, just enough, meaning that's about all that I would share about a private relationship, although I imagine some may want to learn more). It's all there. Not heart-rendering, but a good job sharing. I think it's her that comes through in the book.
Bought this for my 11 year old daughter to read for school.Buyer beware that the story tells about Maria being gay and asking her best friend to marry her and also talks about a friends suicide. My daughter didn’t like this.There are no references to these topics in the about section or info on the book.My Daughter decided not to finish the book.
A well written story about a beautiful and complicated life. If you have lived in Delaware over the past 20 years you couldn’t help but notice Elena Delle Donne even if you were not a basketball fan. She was a legend before leaving grade school. I tried several times to see her play only to be one of the hundreds turned away from packed gyms on cold winter nights. But the best part of this story is the battle to overcome both the plague of Lyme’s disease and the complications that her talents presented her with. The love and connection with her severely disabled sister Lizzie and the role of her supportive family stands out even above the scoring records, MVP status and Olympic Gold Medal.
Excellent story...after reading it myself I sent it to my daughter in law (who was captain of her college basketball team) and couches girls basketball now. Her 13 year old daughter grabbed it and read it first! And, yes, her daughter plays on two basketball teams. Recommendations from all three of us.
Just love it. She is a pure excellent woman, all around!
Liked the honesty and courage it took to follow you r own heart Leasure reading
My daughter loves the book, great story
