Abstract:
With a career that spanned a transformation in how America recognizes and celebrates female athletes, Vonn helped blaze a trail for other world-class female athletes and reimagining what it meant to pursue speed at all costs. Here she goes behind the scenes of a badass life built around resilience and risk-taking. One of the most aggressive skiers ever, Vonn offers a fascinating glimpse into the relentless pursuit of her limits. Injuries came with a cost-- physical, of course, but also mental. Vonn opens up about her decades-long depression and struggles with self-confidence, discussing candidly how her mental health challenges influenced her career without defining her. The result is an inspirational look at her hard-fought success as well as an honest appraisal of the sacrifices she made along the way. -- adapted from jacket
