My Fight / Your Fight by Ronda Rousey
5.0
Fantastically insightful.
Ronda Rousey knows what it means to hustle. She knows loss, pain, heartbreak, and the mental anguish that comes with questioning every fibre of your being. The routine of having to pick yourself up and try again is hard, and knowing that someone who is so much in the spotlight fought that same fight (literally and figuratively) makes life seem like it's not so bad. If Ronda can do it, I can do it.
She is surprisingly relatable, funny in her own way, and totally badass. Reading this book gave me boosts where I wanted to go out and kick some ass, no matter what I happened to be doing. Her fierceness is contagious, and I often felt like there was nothing I couldn't do after reading a few chapters.
I feel like I've learned so much about Ronda as a person- before, she was just that hardcore fighter who's only lost once, that arrogant fighter the media likes to try to tear down. After finishing this book, I can see why her complete and total confidence in herself is perceived as arrogance. When you don't know any better, of course it looks negative.
I feel like Ronda and I would get along if we met in person, because while we live two totally different lives, I feel connected to her struggle and how my own struggles have affected me.
If you're going through something right now, whatever struggle you may be facing- read this book. It's surprisingly full of inspiration, motivation, and ways to find that light at the end of the tunnel. You don't need to know anything about UFC or different fighting styles to read this book. While it touches on her rise to UFC fame, this book is NOT about the UFC. It's about Ronda, and her life.
Fantastic read. I definitely recommend this one.
