Description
Winner of the An Post Sports Book of the Year Award 2022, Kellie is the inspiring memoir of Olympic champion Kellie Harrington. After winning gold at the Tokyo Olympics, the Irish public recognized her as more than just a sporting hero, but a deeply inspirational human being.
Kellie's journey to the top was far from straightforward. Growing up in Dublin's north inner city, she struggled to find her place before discovering boxing. Despite initial rejection by an all-male local club, she persevered and eventually became world-class. With the help of award-winning author Roddy Doyle, Kellie shares a vivid and revealing account of her experiences as a woman in a historically male sport.
This is a story about overcoming obstacles, staying true to oneself, and finding success on one's own terms. It is also a deeply personal exploration of how Kellie manages her body and mind, both in and out of the ring.
