Product Description

Product Description
On 24 September 2000 at the Sydney Olympics, Denise Lewis won the gold medal for the heptathlon. Although quite badly injured after the fifth event, she gritted her teeth and pulled through to achieve an excellent throw in the javelin, and finished the 800m with enough points to win her the gold. Although she had already won double gold at the European and Commonwealth games in 1998, and silver at the World Championships in Seville in 1999, her Olympic win really shot to fame. This is an amazing individual with a winning combination of talent, intelligence and looks. Growing up in Wolverhampton in a one-parent family Denise has learned that you can't have everything you want at once. At the age of 14 she would do the 3-hour round trip to Birmingham to be trained by coach Darrell Bunn. 'I questioned myself sometimes when I was tired and it rained. I thought "I don't want to do this today," but you rise above it.' She is an excellent role model and feels that it is important to show that women can be successful in whatever they try to do. So this book will not only be the autobiography of an amazing sportswoman, it will be an inspiration for anyone who has a talent, anyone who has a dream and the determination to follow it through to the ultimate achievement.

About the Author
Aged 28, Denise Lewis is one of Britain's greatest female athletes and a great ambassador for other female athletes, sport, and women in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Inspiration, 24 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Denise Lewis shot to fame after finishing second in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. Since then she has gone from strength to strength and has become one of the best heptathletes of all time, winning the Commonwealth Games, European Championships and 2000 Sydney Olympic gold medal. "Personal Best" tells the story of how the Wolverhampton girl from a one-parent family became one of the most influential women in athletics today.
The book covers every aspect of her life, from the story of the long line of strong, wise women in her family, right up to the problems she had during the Edmonton World Championships in 2001. Throughout her story, Lewis describes some of her more difficult times, some sad times, times when she has struggled and, of course, times of joy. "Personal Best" will leave you feeling inspired and full of hope for the future of British athletics.
