An authentic dive into the behind-the-scenes of one of the most decorated- and most notoriously private- female athletes in history. Ledecky is genuine in both her celebration and her critique (mostly of herself), every word coming from a place of honesty and a love of her sport, family, and community. I enjoyed reading from her own voice the way her mind ticks and her perspective on her career and legacy (and as I am writing this, I am selling a copy of the book to two middle grade swimmers, telling me Ledecky is their favorite athlete and they want to swim just like her...Katie, more than anything, this inspiration and freedom to achieve is that legacy).
