Olympic gold-medal-winning softball pitcher Jennie Finch said the easiest part about writing her new book was coming up with the title: "Throw Like a Girl: How to Dream Big & Believe in Yourself”.
Olympic softball player Jennie Finch's new book, "Throw Like a Girl, How to
Dream Big and Believe in Yourself," is part autobiography and part self-help.
"I've always heard people say that I made throwing like a girl cool," said Finch, who regularly threw pitches 70 mph or more.
"Yes, I throw like a girl and I'm proud of it. So it fit the book and my story perfectly."
Finch and award-winning sports journalist Ann Killion have written a book that is part autobiography, part inspirational self-help book for girls and young women who love and play sports.
"In truth, I wasn't super-girly," the 6-1 Finch writes. "I was the younger sister of two rowdy brothers, and I wanted to be just like them. I was such a tomboy, the kind of girl who would rather be rolling around in the dirt than inside playing with dolls."
But she also put ribbons in her hair and painted her nails pink before games — "fierce pink" she later called it for her own line of Mizuno gear. "I liked the contrast between being a tough-as-nails athlete and a hot-pink-on-my-nails girl. I liked that balance. It was right for me."
Finch, 31, is married with two young sons, a 5-year-old and a nearly 3-month-old.
She has retired from competitive softball but is on the advisory board of the National Pro Fastpitch League, the women's professional softball league.
She also is training to run this year's New York City Marathon, where she is scheduled to be the last person to start the race. With good reason: for each runner she passes, Timex will donate $1 to New York Road Runners' youth programs.
