About this listen
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.

Tia Toomey, the world’s fittest woman, has won the CrossFit Games an incredible six years in a row and is undeniably a true warrior. She has also trained for the Winter Olympics in bobsledding, competed in the Summer Olympics in weightlifting, and was a Commonwealth Games gold medalist. She is, in short, one of the most accomplished and dominant athletes in human history. But for Tia physical fitness is only a small part of overall strength. 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.

Welcome to the Barkley Marathons, a fever dream of an ultra event, inspired by a prison break, heralded by a conch blast, paid for in cigarettes and socks, and completed only by a select few. A race in which competitors haul themselves up mountains, through extreme weather conditions, beyond pain and exhaustion, mile after mile. Completed 60 miles? That’s just the fun run. In the Spell of the Barkley is a story of sporting obsession, exploring what drives individuals to challenge themselves at the limits of what is possible – and what it takes to succeed.

On the playing field, natural talent isn’t enough—there’s a mental component that determines whether athletes win the race or wipe out before the finish line. But what separates standout sports stars from the rest? In a paradigm-shifting new theory, acclaimed sportswriter Matt Fitzgerald identifies two key traits behind athletic success: strict self-regulation over thoughts and emotions and an unquenchable psychological need to pursue victory—even when it means enduring extreme mental and physical suffering.

“A comeback story that makes a strong case for living on the edge of your comfort zone.”—Dave Castro, CrossFit
“For most, an injury like Brooke’s would have been career-ending. She chose to make it the beginning of an incredible comeback story.”—Mat Fraser, 5x CrossFit Games Champion
“Resilient is an inspiring and meticulous book. Brooke’s story will give the reader confidence in overcoming their own setbacks and face their challenges head on, just as Brooke did. I highly recommend this book to anyone that has challenges in their life and won’t take no for an answer.”—Tia-Clair Toomey, Olympian, 6x CrossFit Games Champion, Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

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.

But what separates standout sports stars from the rest? In a paradigm-shifting new theory, acclaimed sportswriter Matt Fitzgerald identifies two key traits behind athletic success: strict self-regulation over thoughts and emotions and an unquenchable psychological need to pursue victory—even when it means enduring extreme mental and physical suffering.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. 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.

Many poker players can make good decisions at the table with a reasonable frequency. Nevertheless, there are numerous situations where even very experienced players behave in predictable ways. These deeply-ingrained habits lead them to make mistakes. The problem is that these situations won't often arise at the table by chance - you have to make them happen. Exploitative Play in Live Poker is a ground-breaking work that teaches you how to create the circumstances where your opponents will be likely to blunder and how to exploit them when they do.

Great book
Very heartwarming to hear of her and Tia's bond. I love how supportive the CF community is. Made me tear up a couple times.

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!
