Age Is Just a Number: Achieve Your Dreams at Any Stage in Your Life by Dara Torres, Elizabeth Weil

5.0

Adored this book. I'm out of my age group swimming and have started competing with Masters. I've been having trouble finding motivation but Dara just makes you truly feel like anything at all is possible and I think it's helping me get back in the pool. I was sitting on the edge of my bed throughout the entire book, getting excited and frustrated with her as her journey went on. She's so good at making you feel like you're with her, experiencing it too. You can't help but feel hope in those lost dreams.

I'll always remember that moment from the 2008 olympics where she stopped the meet to help her competitor get on her suit, it was the classiest move I have ever seen in any sports event and it's the reason she's one of my biggest heroes. ❤️❤️❤️
