This memoir introduces a young woman of modest athletic achievements who uses desire and discipline to attain the ultimate in sport—the Olympic Gold.

You will be granted an inside look at the personal life of a professional triathlete, complete with family crises and holiday celebrations.

In this inspiring story, Gwen Jorgensen and her family grow together, from average to Olympian.
Gwen Jorgensen intends to win the Rio 2016 Olympic triathlon—an event no US athlete, man or woman, has ever won. Gwen is a stubborn perfectionist, driven to excel.

It is a story of disappointment, failure, change, growth, and accomplishment. This book explores themes of personal discovery, risk-taking, goal-setting, and team-building and is sure to inspire everyone to reach for their own dreams.
