Waites opens her personal journals and lays bare a life shaped by faith, basketball, and relentless perseverance. From growing up in the projects of Conyers, Georgia, to earning a retired jersey and a state championship, to competing on two Final Four teams, to coaching at the collegiate level at programs including the University of Pittsburgh, Traci's path was anything but predictable. Written in a raw, journal entry style, this memoir captures the real-time emotions of recruiting trips, career setbacks, firings, and the quiet moments where God's voice broke through the noise. What emerges is not a sports story but a testimony of surrender, transformation, and walking boldly into an unexpected destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside these pages, you will discover: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow faith can redefine your purpose when the career you loved is taken away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe raw, unfiltered truth of navigating loss, identity, and reinvention as a woman in coaching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA powerful reminder that being misunderstood by the world does not mean you are unseen by God\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 218\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 15, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48706995814649,"sku":"9798318843822","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/XPjw4ZIaGP9798318843822_c89ac126-2baa-4141-b7a1-fb2066e24490.webp?v=1784891407","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/understanding-why-i-am-misunderstood-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
