Description

Lindsey Jacobellis recounts her journey from disappointment to triumph in this deeply personal memoir. In 2006, she was poised to win the first gold medal in women's snowboardcross at the Olympics, but a costly mistake cost her the title. For sixteen years, she endured criticism and second-guessing, yet persevered and trained harder, learning the power of resilience. Through her story, Lindsey reveals how life can sometimes lead us exactly where we need to be. Her journey is an honest account of coming of age as an athlete in the spotlight, facing expectations, falling short, and ultimately fulfilling her dreams. This memoir offers a unique perspective on the sport of snowboardcross and the human spirit. At the 2022 Beijing Winter Games, Lindsey twice reached the top of the podium, becoming a two-time Olympic gold medalist. Her story is one of resilience, determination, and the power of learning from mistakes.
