Lori-Ann Muenzer's Ride to Belief, Belonging, and A Gold Medal by Lori-Ann Muenzer with Karl R. Wilberg
A memoir by the Canadian track sprinter Lori-Ann Muenzer, who spent nearly 20 years chasing her dream of being the best. She was a woman, told she was too old and had lots and lots of self-doubt and insecurities, but also a strong desire to be the best and was driven and motivated and very hard working. Determination in spades. She also had a coach who truly believed in her.
She was 38 years old when she won gold, beating women young enough to be her daughters, and had spent years and years giving up a lot--career, social life, family, a "normal" life. A very interesting glimpse into what it takes to reach the top.
"It's up to you to decide what your limits are." Damn straight!
