Just in time for the 2022 Winter Olympics, here is a motivating
collection of true stories from athletes, including many former
Olympians, who have faced incredible adversity-proving that
integrity and honor are not entirely missing from the playing
fields. Readers will learn about blind mountain climber Erik
Weihenmayer, who scaled the heights of Mount McKinley; sprinter
Gail Devers, who returned from a life-threatening illness to defend
her Olympic title... and more. Despite challenges, each of these
stars found the heart and stamina to persevere. With themes of
resilience and grit, this inspirational book includes a foreword by
noted former baseball player and coach Bobby Valentine, with
additional stories from the following athletes: Michelle Akers: The
Fire Within Ruben Gonzalez: Street Survivor Jim Eisenreich: This Is
Who I Am John Lucas: One on One Mansour Bahrami: For the Love of
the Game Greg LeMond: Making a New Plan Diana Golden Brosnihan:
Gliding on the Edge Chris Zorich: Zora's Gift Zina Garrison: No One
Is Perfect Bob Welch: Living One Day at a Time Willie O'Ree:
Breaking the Barriers Dan O'Brien: No Sure Thing Jean Driscoll:
Don't Look Back
