An Interview With... Author, Emily Williams

Kate and D.J. sit down with author, Emily Williams as they discuss her new book, Lady-Thletes (Available at Amazon and on Kindle/Kindle UNLIMITED).  The book is targeted at pre-teen and teenage girls in sports and the issues they run into as athletes and translates them to life lessons.  This book is also a good read for males looking to better understand their female peers and the experiences they are going through during these critical development years.   Emily was inspired to write the book because of the issues she faced as a teenage athlete and not having a place to turn for help or advice.  Teenage girls are SIX times more likely to drop out of sports than their male peers.   We move on and talk about the process of writing a book, motivating yourself, and handling the critique of your editor before you finally get to publishing.   We also talk about mainstream women's sports, (NWSL, WNBA, NWHL, World Cup) and how streaming services such as YouTube and Twitch have increased viewership and interest over the last couple of years.  As you can tell, this interview was a combination of serious discussion and some hilarious off-topic discussion as well that you won't want to miss.    Be sure to buy Lady-Thletes at Amazon/Kindle Store:   Visit Emily's website for more information Instagram As usual, the video for this episode can be found on our YouTube channel.  Give it a watch and subscribe today for a chance to win some great prizes!
