Publisher's summary
An inspirational memoir about CrossFit star Brooke Wells' rise to fame and miraculous comeback.
This program is read by the author.
On the last night of the 2021 CrossFit Games, ten thousand fans watched in horror as Brooke Wells’ elbow dislocated under the weight of a 190-pound barbell. This is the extraordinary story of what happened next: How Wells pulled off a highly improbable comeback that transformed her mentally and physically into one of the fittest women in the world.
In Resilient, Wells provides a refreshingly honest, authentic account of how she overcame fear, self-doubt, and a slew of unexpected obstacles to return to the CrossFit Games less than a year after undergoing total elbow reconstruction. A story of strength, passion, courage, and grit, Resilient is a celebration of one athlete's extraordinary spirit and her inspiring ability to never say die.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

More important is building mental toughness.

Story
CrossFit trainer Ben Bergeron has helped build the world's fittest athletes, but he's not like other coaches. He believes that greatness is not for the elite few; that winning is a result, not a goal; and that character, not talent, is what makes a true champion. His powerful philosophy can help anyone excel at all aspects of life. Using the dramatic competition between the top contenders at the 2016 Reebok CrossFit Games® as a background, Ben explores the step-by-step process of achieving excellence and the unique set of positive character traits necessary for leveling up to world-class. The mindset and methodology that have produced some of the greatest athletes in the world's most grueling sport can work equally well for golfers, lawyers, artists, entrepreneurs - anyone who's willing to commit totally to becoming better than the best.

In her midforties, Gwendolyn Bounds attended a dinner party where someone asked a little girl: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It struck Bounds: In middle age, no one asks you that anymore. So she put the question to herself. The answer set her on an unexpected five-year path of transformation from an unathletic office executive glued to her screens to an age-group medalist and world championship competitor in obstacle course racing—a demanding military-style sport requiring speed, endurance, mobility, and strength.

In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

Heavily favored, Chicago lost the Series five games to three. Although rumors of a fix flew while the series was being played, they were largely disregarded by players and the public at large.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm.

Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

His powerful philosophy can help anyone excel at all aspects of life.

The mindset and methodology that have produced some of the greatest athletes in the world's most grueling sport can work equally well for golfers, lawyers, artists, entrepreneurs - anyone who's willing to commit totally to becoming better than the best.

Doubling down as a fan!
Was a sideline fan of Brooke for a while and was aware of her injury. This was such a great story and interesting look into her life. I really enjoyed it! Her narration was a bit awkward at times, but I assume she is not an experienced voice actor! I would still choose her narration over anyone else because it feels more personal when the author does it.

Incredibly real and motivating
Great to hear her words and her voice! I have seen it on TV and knew the overall story but to learn and experience the details and grit was really touching!

Amazing book
It’s one thing to know the story, it’s another to here it in first person. Brooke’s story is truly incredible, inspiring and captivating, a must read/listen and she reads it herself.

Inspiration gets taken to the next level!
Inspiring. Gut wrenching. Phenomenal. I, with many others, watched in disbelief as Brooke Wells’ elbow dislocated during the 2021 Games. I’ve always wanted to “see behind the curtain” of how these elite athletes keep themselves together in the face of adversity, and Brooke’s book puts her humanity, vulnerability, and fortitude on full display. She is transparent and real and allows the reader to relive the most gut wrenching year and the most epic comeback with her. I lost count of the times I had chills or shed tears throughout the book. It’s inspiring, jaw dropping, and full of humility and gratitude. I can’t wait to listen to it again, especially on the days where I’m down in the dirt and facing two choices: to roll over and die or dig in and grow. Thanks, Brooke!
