image Lisa Leslie now out from maternity leave and back with the USA Basketball National Team and the WNBA Los Angeles Sparks has written a new chapter in her career. Her new book Don't Let The Lipstick Fool You : The Making of a Champion" was released weeks ago and it has been a hit among basketball fans, players and coaches. Here is a quick description:

A three-time Olympic gold medalist, three-time MVP of the WNBA, and the first woman ever to dunk in a professional basketball game, Lisa Leslie is considered one of the greatest players in the history of women's basketball. Now in her own words, she points the spotlight onto her remarkable life off the court, where being a confident champion was not always simple.

As a child growing up in South Central Los Angeles, Lisa was timid, awkward, and over six feet tall in the sixth grade. Opponents challenged her, and she struggled to overcome self-imposed fears and limitations. But as her interest in basketball grew, she toughened both her game and her resolve. She also learned she could retain her femininity and throw a few elbows too.
 
The book can be purchased at Ebay and Amazon from $13.00
