Book Cover & Preview Text
Ashley’s Thank You Working with you has meant so much to me over these past four years. Thank you for all the time you have spent with me to teach me about running, life, people, and all the memories I will never forget. You have seen a change in me. I have grown a stronger person physically and mentally. You have been there every step of the way to lead me in the right direction and see to it that I succeed. You have asked once or twice if I will miss you. Yes, of course I will miss you. How could I not? I will be leaving the one person who has given me the will to run with heart and the determination to do anything. You never once cut me down or said I couldn’t do it. You have sacrificed so much just to help me by going out of your way to watch and film meets, to talk to me about strategy, to run with me and teach me the right pace, to make sure I will return healthy from injuries, to tell me that God has his own plan for me and not to worry so much about how things will turn out. I have listened to all you have said and there is not one thing that has not meant something to me. Your lessons and advice will always stay with me. If your meaning was to help someone or make an impression on their life, you have achieved it. Thank you Dr. G. Ashley Burch

About the Book
The Athlete Whisperer: What it Takes to Make Her Great takes the reader through the real life stories of female athletes and what it took to empower them not only in the field of competition but also in life as well. It focuses not only on how to train the female athlete but how to instill passion and belief in these athletes. It covers many sports such as track and field, cross country, soccer, and swimming. Ultimately, it shows the reader that it is not about winning or losing but about a process that develops the self-esteem and a conviction that there is nothing that they can't do in life.
