About this listen

A story of triumph over adversity

Standing on the edge of the stage, I knew this was it. This was the moment I had been preparing for. I pushed through 20 long weeks of grueling mental and physical training to be able to step out on stage and make it all worth it. I was 35 years old, and in the last eight months, I had experienced the most challenging adversity of my life.

It was a fight to the end. It was trying to keep my head on for 20 weeks. And when it was all over, I wasn't even guaranteed a plastic trophy. The day was finally here, but I had nothing left. All my energy was gone, like it had suddenly been sapped out of me. I couldn't even walk. The goal had been accomplished. All I had wanted to do was get to the stage. I got here. Now my body was shutting down.

I was looking up at Deano, and I said a little prayer. "Deano, just one more time, bro. Just get me over the line. I have nothing left. I have put my heart and soul into this, but I have nothing left".

Amazing book!

Honest and raw. Leon doesn’t hold anything back in this book about some of the darkest moments of his life and those he coaches. I was inspired especially by this book being written by someone else who is from Australia so it is more relatable to me.

I also love the message about what is learnt through challenging times in life even when things seem impossible it is important to not shy away but take things head on even if the progress is slow at first.

Thanks Leon
