About this item

A candid and inspiring memoir from Olympic gold medalist, world champion, and one of the best swimmers ever to compete: Katie Ledecky.. Katie Ledecky has won more individual Olympic races than any female swimmer in history. She is a three-time Olympian, a seven-time gold medalist, a twenty-one-time world champion, eight-time NCAA Champion, and a world record-holder in individual swimming events. Time and again, the question is posed to her family, her coaches, and to her - what makes her a champion? Now, for the first time, she shares what it takes to compete at an elite level.. Again and again, Ledecky has broken records: those of others and, increasingly, her own. She is both consistent and innovative - consistent at setting goals and shattering them, and innovative in the way she approaches her training.
