An Evening with Christine Brennan & Sydney Affolter — On Her Game Experience
This isn't just a book event. It's a full evening celebrating women's sports, Iowa basketball, and the stories that don't make the headlines.
On Sunday, May 3 at 4 pm (doors open at 3 pm), Sidekick Coffee & Books welcomes award-winning USA TODAY columnist and author Christine Brennan alongside former Iowa Women's Basketball player Sydney Affolter for a conversation you'll be talking about long after you leave.
Sydney was there — on the court, in the locker room, and in the middle of one of the most electric eras in women's college basketball history. Hear directly from her what it was like to be Caitlin Clark's teammate during the height of the hype: the pressure, the joy, the spotlight, and everything that happened behind the scenes. After the event, Sydney will be available for autographs and photos — don't miss your chance to meet her in person.
Christine Brennan brings it all into focus. A journalist who has reported from 21 Olympic Games and broken barriers throughout her career, Brennan is one of the most respected voices covering the rise of women's sports today.
Her book, On Her Game: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution of Women's Sports, is now out in paperback — and this edition isn't just a reprint. It includes brand-new, news-breaking content that makes it a must-read even if you already own the hardcover.
Your $30 ticket includes:
A paperback copy of On Her Game (with new content)
One complimentary drink — red or white wine, Big Grove beer, or iced tea
Access to a post-event book signing with Christine Brennan AND Sydney Affolter
Additional food and drinks will be available for purchase throughout the evening.
Tickets are available in store at Sidekick Coffee & Books, 1310 ½ Melrose Ave., Iowa City or online. Tickets are non-refundable.
