2008-09-25 08:33:00
From The Oprah & Friends Radio Show with Dr. Mehmet Oz, 19 September 2008 Warrior Girls : Protecting Our Daughters Against the Injury Epidemic in Women’s Sports by Michael Sokolove Amy Steadman was destined to become one of the great women’s soccer players of her generation. “The best of the best,” Parade magazine called her as she left high school and headed off to the University of North Carolina.
