What if you wake up hung-over the following morning, not dead, but realizing that you had killed somebody? Even worse, what if you wake up in the morning realizing you destroyed the things you loved most in your life?

What he lacked were the basic necessities; food, shelter and a family. Kate and Troy's worlds collide when she moves to Alabama to resume training for a spot on the Olympic Gymnastics Team.

A frightening bicycle accident could easily have brought an end to a young boy's dreams. But for Lance Ringnald, it seemed instead to open the door to a future full of promise. It was followed by enrollment in gymnastics classes, rapid advancement, and extraordinary opportunities. From the Olympics to the World Championships to the gymnastics Hall of Fame, Lance was able to make his dreams a reality. But for Lance, it was always about more than just gymnastics. It was about the thrill, the accomplishment, the opportunities, the learning, the friendships, and the philosophies. It was about life. Lance has kept all of that close to his heart, and he shares his story and his insight with refreshing honesty and unique wisdom. His story will take the reader through his childhood, through his experiences as a two-time Olympian, and into his life now as a professional entertainer on cruise ships. Penned by his good friend, Stacey Lake, Lance's story comes straight from his heart. It will touch readers of all ages, and it will give them the inspiration to "just do the best that they can."

After a seventeen-year career in the sport of gymnastics, loving it, struggling through it, and being obsessed with it, this is the story of one gymnast's experiences, observations, and lessons learned. As her gymnastics career ended, and she was forced to deal with the loss of the sport she loved, she struggled to make sense of what she had learned along the way, what she had been through, and why. In writing about her experiences, all the lessons came into focus. This story reveals what she learned about gymnastics, what she learned about life because of gymnastics, and her journey to get there. The subjects included in this autobiographical account are winning and losing, dealing with favoritism, dieting, self-image, setting goals, dealing with fear, coping with injuries, how gymnastics impacts family, retiring, and many others. This is not the story of an Olympic hero. This is the personal reflections of an average gymnast, someone that did a challenging, competitive sport because she loved it. This story tells her reasons for doing the sport, what goals she set and which ones she reached and surpassed, and just how much satisfaction she was able to get from the sport without ever having to win gold medals or go to the Olympics.
