With the 2012 Olympic Games in London on the horizon, talk of
high-level performance, achievement, going for gold and
motivational strategy is already rising in pitch. Olympic rower
Jason Dorland knows how important it is to convey the right message
about winning, and in this compelling memoir he shares his
challenging journey to cultivate a healthier outlook. Detailing his
experiences rowing with the Canadian National Rowing Team and later
coaching high-school crews, he reveals how a devastating
performance at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, defined his life
for years to come. "In it to win it," he fell apart when that
didn't happen. The same win-at-all-costs mentality that made the
Olympic loss so hard to bear was also what made it difficult for
him to move forward, despite his efforts to overcome his
overwhelming sense of failure. Over time, however, he came to a new
level of understanding about facing challenge, and with this book
he sets out to share what he's learned with coaches, athletes,
business people and anyone else who needs to perform at a high
level without losing their humanity or their spirit. An honest,
intimate look at the reality of high-level athletics, Jason's
memoir is more than a sports story; in charting his progress from
struggling athlete to an inspirational coach driven to instil a
healthy competitive spirit in his rowers, he shows how in sports
and in life, it's all about the journey, not the outcome.
