Not a reader, but a fan of the sport...and I finished this in 1 weekend. Absolutely great book that I'd recommend to anyone, regardless of fitness background.

I am not a reader but learning to be one. This book was hands down the best I have read besides Atomic Habits which goes hand and hand. 100% if you are looking to be a better person, athlete & train to your true potential. Buy the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A how-to for high caliber athletes

Thank you to PRH Audio, NetGalley, and Rodale Books for the opportunity to read and review this book!

Tia-Clair Toomy-Orr is a phenomenal athlete, qualifying for multiple Olympics (winter and summer), winning Gold at the Commonwealth Games, and winning the CrossFit Games six years in a row! She is known for her well-rounded abilities and her champion mindset that has developed in front of the fans for years. Now she shares insight into how she has reached such an elite level, the hurdles she has faced, and how others can emulate her practice to excel at their own chosen endeavors.

I started watching CrossFit in 2015, the same year Tia jumped onto the stage and made a name for herself. Now she is a six time champion, a new mother, and on her path back to the competition. I went into this book excited to hear from my favorite athlete, and though I enjoyed her insight about mental toughness, I wasn’t necessarily the target audience for this one. I think this would be an incredible read for anyone trying to take their passion and turn it into a championship level venture.

I’ve received a free copy from Harmony Books and Rodale Books and am doing a free and unbiased review.”
What a wonderful book to read! It really is refreshing to read a book by someone who is so incredibly focused and determined. She is inspiring! I don't normally read books by athletes, but this was very engaging and informative!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile Read

Thank you, Rodale Books, for the early review copy via Netgalley. (Available now.)

Tia Toomey won the CrossFit Games six unprecedented years in a row, and her latest book details how she focused her mindset and priorities on that accomplishment. The book is half memoir, half advice, and 100% Tia. I learned more about her philosophy and better understood her and other confident and aggressive athletes like her.

If you are interested in CrossFit or the lives of professional athletes, this is a worthwhile read. I heard she narrates the audiobook herself (I only had a copy of the e-book, but her personality and style came through loud and clear.)

I was a Tia fan before I read the book, and I’m even more fascinated with her now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what you might be hoping for
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2024
Ok, straight up some of this book doesn’t make sense. Especially a chapter about not comparing ourselves when she talks about women having hardships and being taken seriously but then goes on to talk (in a not so positive light) about women who post racy pics on instagram… I may agree with her but she sometimes contradicts herself and it felt like a weird place to throw it into a book. I don’t know if this book was edited or not. I was thinking this book would be more about her journey and experiences and while she does share stories here and there, it was always tied into some shallow lesson.

Big Tia fan, I hope someday her and Shane would write a book together about their life and not make it a lesson/self help. I don’t like self help books, but if you do - maybe you should buy this!
