I finished reading Beth Rodden's book last night. It's certainly a worthwhile read and reflects on what it takes to achieve the highest level of performance but also at why she felt compelled in the first place to make the sacrifices to get there.
It was at times difficult to read the pain that she went through during her 20s, whilst being also completely confused about why things were so difficult. I hope that we are better today at spotting the signs of trauma and in 20 years time there aren't similar autobiographies of athletes coming to terms with their suffering.
The book sits in the same genre as Katie Brown's Unraveled, both are interesting to read and offer different perspectives on the period.
Anyone else picked this up recently?
