CHOOSE STRONG: The Choice That Changes Everything

by Sally McRae, Nick Bare (Foreword)

Known worldwide for her mental fortitude, hardcore training tactics, and an ability to push through extreme discomfort, pro athlete Sally McRae’s strength wasn’t built in the gym. For the first time, McRae candidly tells her shocking story of abuse, loss, and wild resilience that laid the foundation for the woman she is today. In this powerful memoir, Sally bypasses the often loud sea of motivational quotes and hyped ideas about what it means to be strong and cuts right to the core of every human with her gentle, yet firm reminders that we are ALL strong! Honest, relatable, and raw, every reader will connect with Sally’s story and see how they too can overcome even the most difficult situations in life and sport. Choose Strong is a story for everyone from every age and walk of life looking to live their strongest life.

glad to have read — sally mcrae is an awesome ultrarunner. i think i thought this was gonna be more about running than like… motivational / childhood stories?

If I could give it 10/5 stars I would. Heartbreakingly beautiful and incredibly vulnerable. To share this story with the world must be incredibly difficult, I’m in awe.

[Sheila Hegarty]

It is a good book, hard to read in the truth of some places. Parts of it bothered me but it is an amazing story of Sally's survival and success.

A 2024 book! This is supposed to be part 1, so will be looking for part 2 in the future!

Have to admit, I got a bit choked up reading this one. Maybe more than once. Someone was cutting onions, I swear. And now I have so many questions about her Badwater experience.
