Description
Twists and Turns by Matthew Mitcham is an unflinching account of the author's struggles with clinical depression, self-harm, and addiction to crystal meth. Despite achieving Olympic success and becoming a role model for his courage, Mitcham reveals how these personal demons threatened to derail his career. In this searingly frank memoir, Mitcham shares his harrowing battle with mental health issues, including the ways in which he turned to substance abuse as a coping mechanism. With unflinching honesty, he recounts the challenges of balancing perfectionism with self-doubt and the ultimate triumph over physical and emotional pain. A gripping and inspiring story of resilience and sportsmanship, Twists and Turns offers a unique perspective on the highs and lows of elite athletic competition.
