In addition to the everyday issues of being a student athlete, \u003cem\u003eThe Rebounders\u003c\/em\u003e also covers the objectification of women athletes, race, sexuality, and self-expression. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Most college athletes, famous or not, play hard, get hurt, fail, and triumph together in a profound love of their sport and one another, and then their careers end and they figure out how to move on. From concussions and minor injuries to classrooms, parties, and relationships, Ottaway understands the experience of a Division I women's basketball player firsthand. \u003cem\u003eThe Rebounders\u003c\/em\u003e is, at its core, a feminist coming-of-age story, an exploration of what it means to be a young woman who loves a sport and discovers herself through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmanda Ottaway\u003c\/strong\u003e attended Davidson College where she played basketball and majored in English.
