This story is well done. It highlights the talents, and personality of a wonderful person who just happens to be a great athlete. The reason she was/is such an exceptional basketball player is because of who she is as a person. This should serve as an outline for young athletes to follow to become the best they can be in life and on the court or field. It is not just lips service either. The things she did on the court are proven by film. There are funny things that make Jackie real as well. Her family is humble and are just good midwestern people. Jackie is a testament to her upbringing. I especially liked the comment from her teammate regarding being so competitive. As in just walking to class and needing to "win" that walk!!
