Description
A Footy Girl’s Guide to the Stars of the Game, a nonfiction book written by Josefa Pete and first published in 2018, is a fun and informative guide for young girls interested in Australian Rules Football, or AFL, learning more about the game and its players, particularly the rising stars of women’s football.
It has instead highlighted the journeys of several female AFL players and told the stories of challenges, achievements, and growing opportunities for women within the sport. The book also contains profiles of such notable athletes, how they started playing football, the obstacles they had to overcome within a largely male-dominated field, and tips on how one can get into the game-from local teams up to improving skills.
Written in accessible and engaging style, A Footy Girl’s Guide aims to inspire young girls to try to pursue their dreams in sports, and in any case, stress that it takes resilience, teamwork, and passion. It celebrates the growth of women’s AFL and looks forward to encouraging an entirely new breed of female athletes.
