Fierce: How Competing for Myself Changed Everything by Aly Raisman

4.0

I like that it includes the behind the scene in elite gymnastics beyond the training and relationship with the coaches. The amount of support an athlete needs to be successful can make elite gymnastics really expensive. Aside from cost of training (fees and gym fees), did not realize the amount of time they spent seeing medical experts to keep them healthy. Its nice to see that even the nutrition is important to keep them healthy. Something I haven't read in the other gymnastics books.

It shows the real elite gymnastics beyond on what we see on tv. We read about the struggle and dark side of gymnastics but also gave us hope and the positivity of elite gymnastics. Nice balance.
