| | Babe Didrikson Zaharias Poster Click image to enlarge Mildred "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias was a woman with unending persistence which led her to achieve many honors in the world of sports, some not ever accomplished by any other person, man or woman. She won three Olympic medals in Track and Field; two gold and one silver. Babe not only did track and field, but also other sports such as basketball where she was named "All-American" three times. The Associated Press also named Babe "Woman Athlete of the Year" six times, a feat never again achieved by anyone.
But even all of these accomplishments couldn't prevent her from getting cancer, almost ending her ability to play sports. Babe, however, was not one to go down without a fight. She managed to recover from cancer, and shortly after returned to playing golf, competing in and winning tournaments, and then went on to found the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). While many of us may not have the natural talent that Babe had, we can certainly aspire to attain her level of resolve. With this poster, your daughter can appreciate that even with all of her talent, what really made Babe great was her passion, commitment, and the way she never gave up, no matter what the obstacle. This poster is a full color, high resolution 13 x 19 inch poster suitable for framing or for just hanging up on the wall.
