I mistakenly came into reading this book thinking I would really identify with it, having grown up as a girl jock myself. But this book is really about Strauss and his own reconciliation with having daughters who play sports. I appreciate his perspective, having grown up in an era when girls weren't really able to play a lot of sports and now having daughters for whom sports is a huge part of their lives. But the whole book felt like Strauss was trying to unravel the mystery of why his daughters do or don't act the same way as he does (I'll play basketball until I die! How can she just quit?). I would love to see a book like this from the daughter's point of view.
