About this listen

It's not always easy to embrace life, to get up and go, to follow your dreams and make things happen, but after losing his leg to cancer as a teenager, that’s exactly what Marc Woods did - and went on to become a Paralympic Gold medallist. The determination and dedication that Marc showed to achieve that feat is shared with us in this powerful book.

His inspiring story is the motivation we all need to start being the best we can be.

Personal Best will help you to:

  • Set specific, measurable and achievable goals.
  • Learn to forge supportive teams and communicate with those around you.
  • Find role models and follow their example.
  • Learn to ignore other people's prejudices and not let them hold you back.
  • Deal with change - both change that you chose and change that you don't.
  • Manage stress both at home and at work.

Marc Woods is a five-time Paralympian, and has won 12 Paralympic medals and 21 championships medals. He was a member of the British Olympic Athletes Commission and a founding member of the British Athletes Council. He works extensively with individuals, teams and global businesses, encouraging them to develop best practice within their given areas of interest. Approximately 25,000 people each year watch him deliver his motivational presentations.
