Summary

"This way, everyone!”
Coach Payson sent the call to each end of the field and then, swinging his small blue megaphone in his hand, waited for the panting players to gather about him in front of the bench. They came running in from all parts of the gridiron, a motley gathering of football aspirants; seasoned veterans of last year’s Yardley Varsity, Second Team men, substitutes, new boys; big, little, fat, thin, all sizes and conditions. Andy Ryan, the little red-haired trainer, stood over his pile of blankets and his water pail, back of the side-line, and viewed the sixty-odd candidates with a pessimistic shake of his head. John Payson, turning at the moment, saw it and smiled.
“What’s the matter, Andy? Don’t they look good?” he asked.

    For years, women’s self-defense courses have focused on handling physical altercations, while domestic violence advocacy has circled around helping women who are already in abusive relationships. Meanwhile, the statistics on violence committed against women have remained stagnant for decades. 
    It’s time to make a change. 
    As a woman, you have unbelievable intuition skills. You notice when a loved one is "off." You feel the vibe or energy of a place. Your amazing instincts help you take care of others. What if you could use these natural abilities to build your situational awareness and avoid a physical fight? What if you could learn to recognize the red-flag behaviors and get safe before the violence starts? 
    Now, you can! In Sharp Women, Kelly Sayre breaks down ways for women to deal with everyday situations using their best self-defense weapon—their intuition. In this book, you’ll discover how to sharpen your natural skills, build a solid plan to protect yourself, and move forward through your life with confidence. 
    As founder and president of the Diamond Arrow Group, Kelly Sayre empowers women to live life on their own terms using non-physical, proactive situational awareness tactics that expose and avoid threatening situations before they happen.
