Summary

"The first ever memoir from the greatest female ski racer of all time, revealing never before told stories of her life in the fast lane, and the bold decisions that helped her break down barriers for athletes around the world"--
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
