Go For It! Conversations on Being You

by Dot Richardson

Dot Richardson, M.D., would not let prejudices against women stand in her way. She became a two-time Olympic gold-medal shortstop in an era when people said, "Girls don't play baseball." When few women held the title "Doctor," Dot became an orthopedic surgeon. Today she leads a thriving fitness and health center business and is one of only a handful of women holding top positions in corporate America. When Dot set her sights on a goal, she would Go For It! In this book, Dot tells in her own words what it was like to be denied the chance to play and how she dealt with that rejection. Listen to her suggestions for "being yourself," "finding your passion," and "following your dream." This book has been written with children ages 8 and up in mind.
