WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT MEETING HER MATCH:

"The best witnesses and story-tellers are people who lived on both sides of a profound change, and the very best are those who were victimized before unshackled. I have not seen anything on this topic written so beautifully, so painfully, and so descriptively. Debbie makes the injustices, triumphs, frustrations, and breakthroughs more than just believable. They are feel-able!"
Bob Hammel, Former Newspaper Sports Editor 

"This book is a walk down memory lane, but more important, an accurate depiction of the rise and evolution of women’s athletics. As a high school coach for twenty-three years and a college coach for eleven, I have witnessed the days when opportunities for females were slim to none, to today when incredible experiences abound for all athletes. I loved each chapter of Meeting Her Match, and enjoyed the personal accounts of Debbie’s remarkable encounters."
Dave Shondell, Head Women’s Volleyball Coach, Purdue University

"It is said that nothing important in life ever comes easy. This book is testimony to how true that really is. Meeting Her Match is clearly one of the best female sports stories ever told."
Steve Shondell, Hall of Fame Volleyball Coach

"Debbie has accurately captured the essence of the times with insight into the challenges female athletes faced before the passage of Title IX. This book made me feel like I was on her team, experiencing every ounce of passion with each bounce of the leather ball."
Cheryl Feeney, Athletic Director & Former College Athlete

"Coach Millbern’s memoir really hits the mark! It’s not every day that one gets to read a book about her own memorable past! As one of Coach Millbern's high school athletes, it was a joy to read her story and learn what was going on “behind the scenes.” Coach Millbern was my role model on the court and in life. Thank you, Coach, for your inspiration!"
Tricia Liston Kitchell, Physical Educator & Former High School Volleyball Player 

"Little did our high school volleyball team know that we were about to encounter one of the largest challenges of our young lives . . . and HE was 6’3”! Through this memoir I relived the thrills and chills of what it took to be a champion both on and off the court. Because of Debbie’s positive influence, many of us former players became teachers and coaches."
Cindy Parker Nestel, Retired Teacher & Former High School Volleyball Player
