About this listen

Discover Aly Raisman's inspiring story of dedication, perseverance, and learning to think positive even in the toughest times on her path to gold medal success in two Olympic Games - and beyond.

Aly Raisman first stepped onto a gymnastics mat as a toddler in a "mommy and me" gymnastics class. No one could have predicted then that 16 years later, she'd be standing on an Olympic podium, having achieved her dreams.

But it wasn't an easy road to success. Aly faced obstacle after obstacle, including naysayers who claimed that she didn't have the talent to compete at an elite level and classmates who shamed Aly for her athletic body. Through it all, Aly surrounded herself with supportive family, friends, and teammates and found the inner strength to believe in herself and prove her doubters wrong. In her own words, Aly shows what it takes to be a champion on and off the floor and takes listeners on a behind-the-scenes journey before, during, and after her remarkable achievements in two Olympic Games - through her highest highs, her lowest lows, and all the moments in between.

Honest and heartfelt, frank and funny, Aly's story is enhanced with excerpts from the personal journals she's kept since childhood that chronicle memorable moments with her teammates and hard-won advice for listeners striving to rise above challenges, learning to love themselves, and making their own dreams come true.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

wow!! eye opening to truth!

Ally what a brave young lady who has lived an amazing life yet filled with poor choices from others. the good part is the fearless attitude you have for sharing your story and truth. Thank you! your mom is correct your character is far more important than a gold medal, but you are rocking them both!!

LOVE!!

Inspirational! I have always been a big fan of Aly the gymnast but I am even a bigger fan of Aly the strong fierce young woman I had the pleasure to get to “know” through this book. This book really makes you realize what is important in life.

Awesome inspiring

Initially as a 33 year old woman I thought the book was a little out of my age , but her overal powerful message really made me admire how strong she is to share her story & inspire women to continue to be strong and find their voice when things are tough. The narrator wasn’t my favorite. Almost too happy , if that’s even a bad thing. Overall a good listen for women and young men who love gymnastics and of course are looking for a book that opens ones eyes to getting past the bad to being a great version of yourself.

Fantastic and Heartfelt

Aly gave the reader an intimate view of her blood, sweat and tears to the Olympics. The book portrays an excellent example of a person who set out to accomplish goals no matter the difficulty while staying grounded and true to herself. After reaching her goal, Aly graciously gave back to her community. If we have more people like Aly the world can be better than it is today. This is a wonderful read for all ages.

Great story but why didn’t Aly read it?

I can’t stand the way the narrator over emphasizes the emotions behind all the words. Not every sentence has !!! in it. I guess the audience is young girls, but why is she reading like it’s to a class of little kids?
