Publisher's summary

Dame Kelly Holmes won two gold medals at the 2004 Olympic Games in the 800 and 1500 metres. In this collection we hear - in her own words - about her determination and goals, as well as her difficult childhood.

She talks about starting athletics when she was 13, driving lorries in the army and becoming an army fitness instructor. She discusses her intensive training - and injury - finally achieving her Olympic dream in Athens, and her homecoming parade back in the UK. She's also open about illness, losing confidence and self-harming, as well as new goals after athletics, such as focusing on fitness in schools, mentoring and writing a self-help book.

Interviews include: Sport on Four, BBC Radio 4 (first broadcast 16th September 1995); Desert Island Discs, BBC Radio 4 (first broadcast 6th January 2006); Graham Norton, BBC Radio 2 (first broadcast 15th January 2011).
