Ever wonder what drives the sport of women’s basketball? A new publication by a Mercy College staffer and Rockland County resident sheds some light on the sport — and this Monday you can meet the author in Nyack.
Christine A. Baker has just released “Why She Plays: The World of Women’s Basketball ” (University of Nebraska Press), a book about female hoop players from youth basketball to the WNBA and she is slated to talk about and sign copies Monday at 7 p.m. at the Nyack Library.
In her book, Baker includes current statistics and trends in the sport and talks about the last 36 years. She interviews players and coaches offering portraits of the athletes offering an inside look at the sport of women’s basketball and how it fits into our the American sports culture.
Baker is director of public relations at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry and an adjunct professor at St. Thomas Aquinas College in Sparkill. She is a contributing writer for the Web site, Full Court Press covering the WNBA and women’s sports. Oh, and she coaches basketball, too.
The library is at 59 S. Broadwnay.
