My Fight / Your Fight by Ronda Rousey
5.0
You don't have to like Ronda to appreciate the pure skill she has. It just so happens, I had a girl crush on her long before the book; and I have very little interest in UFC.
Ronda is a machine, but she wasn't born that way. The very start of this book says "I've had to fight for everything" and the truth is crazier than you would imagine. When she says she fought, she means she fought. Sometimes I don't go to the gym because I feel a cold coming on, but Ronda literally lets nothing stop her. I got tired just thinking about two-a-day's.
She is a wonderful inspiration to ANYTHING. It doesn't have to be fitness or fighting. She is an outstanding example of what you can achieve. Her mindset and her drive had me setting reset on my ambitions. This book left me inspired and confident. I wanted to stand up with this book and shout "this girl! This one right here! Dang!" Granted, with every inspirational story comes it's downside. There are so many things in this book I disagree with. I hate how she has to "make weight". I hate that it was necessary to prove herself as a worthy woman and then as a worthy person; we should have broken that Ceiling a long time ago (insert raving feminism here).
But the facts speak for themselves, Ronda is the best in the world at what she does, and I am sitting on my couch writing a novice book review on my iPhone that maybe, nobody will read.
Read this book. (Bring a highlighter) It's enjoyable. It's encouraging. It's inspirational. And at very least, read it for the empathy. Because Ronda deserves everything she has. Not by chance, but through hard, grueling, intentional work.
Why not you.
