Being the daughter of two Olympians sounds like a dream if you're an athlete. But it comes with plenty of pressures and hurdles! And for Micha Powell, that's just part of life. Micha is a world-class Canadian Olympic sprinter specializing in the 400-meter. She's a 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medalist. Track is a part of her DNA.
Sprinting Through An Olympian's Guide to Overcoming Self-Doubt and Imposter Syndrome looks back at pivotal races in Micha's career so far and the lessons learned from each.
From finding balance, owning your personal style, battling imposter syndrome, stepping into your spotlight, and finding the courage to embrace an Olympic mindset, there's a lot to learn, whether you're a runner, a student, an office worker.
Each chapter also includes a workbook section, so readers can take the journey alongside Micha.
If you're chasing a big dream, this book is for you.
Bought this book as a high school cross country coach because I had heard amazing things... loved it so much that I immediately bought copies for all the girls on our team. Female athletes tend to give up sports as they get older and I'm hoping this helps keep a fire lit as they head off to university! Edit- the feedback from my athletes has been incredible!!
