Why She Plays: The World of Women's BasketballWhy does she play basketball? Since the enactment of Title IX in 1972, that question has come to be asked of more girls and women and answered in more ways than ever before. Christine A.

Why does she play basketball? Since the enactment of Title IX in 1972, that question has come to be asked of more girls and women--and answered in more ways--than ever before. Christine A. Baker, herself an avid player and an assistant coach, pursues an answer through the ranks of the sport from youth basketball to the WNBA.

Baker sets the stage with a quick look at current statistics and trends in women's basketball nationwide, noting the profound changes in the last thirty-five years. A series of exclusive interviews then takes us into the heart and soul of the sport. Her subjects are players and coaches, from neophytes to stars such as Dawn Staley and Nancy Lieberman; from legendary coaches such as Jody Conradt to the masterminds of USA Basketball and the 1996 Women's Dream Team; from Donna Lopiano, former CEO of the Women's Sports Foundation, to tomorrow's Olympic athletes. A richly detailed, all-encompassing portrait of the sport, these interviews offer a wealth of insight into the game, American sports culture, and, indeed, why Baker plays.

Great sunscreen that feels light on skin
Great sunscreen that matches my skin tone and is very light. Its not makeup and also doesn't leave any white sunscreen residue. I can have sensitive skin when it comes to sunscreen and this is very gentle on my skin. Highly recommend!

Great sunscreen, easy to use and absorbs well
I would recommend this product because it's super easy to apply and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. The SPF 50 gives good sun protection, and it feels lightweight on my face. Plus, it's hydrating thanks to the hyaluronic acid. Definitely a good choice for daily use, and I like that it doesn't clog pores.
