Game Changer

Informationen zum Autor Cora Staunton Klappentext Cora Staunton is one of the greatest sportspeople Ireland has ever produced. Since her inter-county debut at the age of thirteen, she has gone on to win four senior All-Ireland Championships with Mayo, featuring in 67 Championship games over 23 seasons. She has led her club team, Carnacon, to six All-Ireland titles and has won 11 All-Star Awards. In 2017 Cora became the first international draft signing in the Australian Women¿s Football League. She will return in November 2018 for a second season with the Greater Western Sydney Giants. Mary White, a Cork native, reported on ladies football for seventeen seasons. Her first book, Relentless: The Inside Story of the Cork Ladies Footballers, was shortlisted for the 2015 Setanta Ireland Sports Book of the Year. Zusammenfassung In this refreshingly candid book, Cora recalls finding refuge in the game after the death of her mother, but also speaks openly about the challenges and conflicts she and her teammates have experienced in the under-resourced world of female sport.
