Relentless Spirit: The Unconventional Raising of a Champion By Missy Franklin Hardcover 1101984929 9781101984925 Relentless Spirit: The Unconventional Raising of a Champion What does it take to become a champion? Gold medalist Missy Franklin, along with her parents, D.A. and Dick, tell the inspirational and heartwarming story of how Missy became both a legendary athlete and a happy and confident woman, something they accomplished by doing things their own way and making the right choices for their family. The word relentless has many meanings for swimmer Missy Franklin.  In the pool, it reminds her to remain steady and persistent, unyielding in intensity and strength.  In life, it tells her to reach down for her very best, even when it feels like there’s nothing left.  The motto “don’t quit” doesn’t do it for Missy, but relentless gets her where she needs to be. And when Missy faces a challenge or a setback, her relentless spirit is what empowers her to learn, adapt, and move forward into the future.   In RELENTLESS SPIRIT, Missy and her parents, D.A. and Dick Franklin, share the story of how Missy became the athlete she is today, a six time Olympic medalist, five of them gold. Since her Olympic debut in London’s 2012 games—when Missy was just seventeen—people who have met the Franklins or seen them on TV have wondered what it was like to raise such a champion. What was the training like? How did Missy handle school? How did the family find the right facilities, coaches, and support network?   The story that Missy, and her parents, share inside is both inspiring and heartwarming, explaining how she became both a legendary athlete and a happy and confident woman, something they accomplished by doing things their own way and making the right choices for their family, which includes Missy’s faith journey, something she writes about with inspirational candor.   Including the highs, the tough moments, and everything in between, Relentless Spirit tells the story of a woman – and a family – full of love, heart, faith, and resilience.

Relentless spirit meaning

As a swim Mom I could relate to a lot of what Missy s parents shared in this book It was a great assurance to me that I am doing the best I can do at helping my swimmers balance life Hardcover While this isn t normally my kind of read having seen Missy grow up from a distance since her accomplishments and struggles have been widely covered in Colorado it was nice to hear her side of her story She has set a positive role model for so many and was able to share her beliefs her passions and her genuine goodwill in this very conversational telling of her life Wishing her the best Hardcover I think this book is a super good book for swimmers and coaches I think it really explains the hard parts of swimming and how to get through them Hardcover I was a swimmer growing up and admire Missy Franklin tremendously but her life just doesn t make for a good memoir at this point Until her back injury a few years ago and the 2016 Olympic trials and games in Rio she really hadn t struggled at all Which is awesome for her and her family but just doesn t make for that interesting a memoir should have realized that before picking this one up. EPub Relentless spirited I love reading sports memoirs for their behind the scenes information on the big competitions When Missy s memoir got to the London Olympics she essentially said nothing and turned it over to her parents to share their experience which was kind of interesting but not what I was looking for The best part of the book was the very end when she addressed her back injury decision to leave Cal to train for the 2016 Olympics at home in Colorado and the 2016 trials and Games themselves Sadly the reader has to wade through a LOT of parenting advice which all boils down to supporting your child rather than the accomplishments and not pressuring him her and mutual back patting between Missy and her parents to get there Hardcover Relentless Spirit is a documentary unlike any other it talks about the journey of not only an athlete but it talks about the journey of her family and all those whom she s impacted as well D.
