In the glamorous, ultra-competitive world of figure skating,
Katarina Witt is a living legend. She has won more titles than
anyone else before her , including two Olympic gold medals, four
world championships, and eight national championships. She is also
renowned for independence and self-possession in a world where many
stars are in thrall to management companies, and for her ability to
stay true to skating while developing new careers in business,
movies and television. Witt has always done whatever she's done
with all her heart , with passion, intelligence, and a love of
perfection. Now, in Only with Passion, she offers advice to a new
generation of women athletes making their way in the world on how
to live full out, compete with edge, and navigate life with grace.
When a young skater consults her for advice on whether to train
abroad , and leave a boyfriend behind , Witt finds occasion to
recall the major turning points of her own journey, from her East
German childhood to the international spotlight. She shares her
inside perspective and frank opinions on the insular world of
skating and offers her views about what it takes to be a champion,
and to create a fulfilling life. Whether she's talking about life
on or off the ice (or on the cover of Playboy !), Witt is always
candid, fresh, and down-to-earth. Written with E.M. Swift, author
of My Sergei , one of the best-selling skating books of all time,
Only with Passion is the perfect gift for young women, young
athletes ,particularly skaters , and skating fans of all ages.
