BACKGROUND
Shannon Miller remains the Most Decorated Gymnast in American History. She is the only American to rank among the Top 10 All-Time gymnasts and is the only female athlete to be inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame – Twice! (Individual (2006) and Team (2008))
Shannon has won an astounding 59 International and 49 National competition medals. Over half of these have been gold. She is the only US gymnast to win 2 World All-Around Titles and she is the first American female to medal in the individual all-around of a non-boycotted Olympics. Her tally of five medals (2 silver, 3 bronze) at the 1992 Olympics was the most medals won by a US athlete in any sport. At the ’96 Games, she led the “Magnificent Seven” to the US Women’s first ever Team Gold and for the first time for any American gymnast, she captured Gold on the Balance Beam. She is the first American gymnast to win an individual gold medal at a fully-attended Summer Games and cemented her place as the most accomplished gymnast, male or female, in U.S. Olympic history.
After retiring from Olympic competition, Shannon received her undergraduate degrees in marketing and entrepreneurship and her law degree from Boston College. She then moved from Olympic athlete to advocate for the health and wellness of women and children.
Shannon launched her company Shannon Miller Lifestyle: Health and Fitness for Women along with her series of fitness books, cookbooks and fitness DVD’s in July, 2010. She continues to travel the country as a highly sought after motivational speaker and advocate for the health and wellness of women and children.

Shannon hosts her weekly talk radio show in partnership with St. Vincent’s HealthCare dedicated to health and fitness. She also worked as an expert analyst with Yahoo! Sports and commentator on NBCOlympics.com during the 2012 Summer Games and continues to remain involved with the sport of gymnastics as a commentator and analyst.
In January of 2011, Shannon was diagnosed with a malignant germ cell tumor, a rare form of ovarian cancer. She had the baseball sized tumor removed successfully and followed up with 9 weeks of chemotherapy. Shannon has remained open and public about her diagnosis and treatment and continues to empower women to make their health a priority. Shannon is currently cancer free and continues to be a strong advocate for early detection. Shannon and her husband welcomed their miracle baby girl on June 25th, 2013! Daughter Sterling joins big brother, Rocco, age four.
Shannon's new book "It's Not About Perfect" will be release on April 21, 2015! In this book Shannon discusses her gymnastics career and the lessons learned through sport that helped her through her battle with cancer. It is a heartfelt and inspiring read for anyone facing obstacles in life.

Shannon Miller is the reason I fell in love with gymnastics. If there was ever an official textbook on Shannon Miller (at least her athletic days), this would be it.
Winning Every Day is now two decades old and not at all relevant but I've been going through a nostalgic phase after recently watching the Simone Biles movie which made me look up and start reading all my favorite gymnast's books. It's nice to be able to look back and remember what made you love something. 📚💖🤸♀️

I never got to read this years ago. I was hoping for more of an autobiography but it was just snapshots at different points of her life with advice thrown in. But she was really upbeat and full of faith.

Lovely book written by a lovely young lady! Such a hard worker who achieved great success in the sport she loves.

This is an older book that I have long looked forward to reading. Unfortunately for me that I waited this long to read it. Had I read it when it came out I would have rated it 5 stars but now I can only do 4 stars. The reason for that is the quality for the reading is more juvenile than what I would like.
The other part is having read her other book that was written as an adult and a lot more mature was far more to my liking. I was pleased to have finally read the book but I still think that I had other books that are better.

In this book, Shannon shares experiences about training, competing, traveling, etc. The focus, however, is on what she learned from these experiences and how these lessons can help in every day life.

This is a wonderful book told by the perspective of Miss Miller. I really loved reading about her family's dedication and support to her as she mastered her incredible skills to be in the Olympics, not just once, but twice!
It is a lovely and enjoyable book.
