About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
You don’t get biceps like Briggs by giving up when the going gets tough....
CrossFit superstar Sam Briggs, a.k.a. ‘The Engine’, is a true hero in the sport, with a level of endurance unparalleled in the game. This is the story of how she got to the top and battled with everything she had to stay there.
Sam’s memoir takes in the whole story, from being kicked out of ballet lessons as a child but being accepted on the boys’ sports teams, to working as a firefighter in West Yorkshire for 10 years, tackling dangerous and adrenaline-fueled situations on a daily basis and to taking up CrossFit at the comparatively ancient age of 27. Sam tells of what it took to become champion a mere three years later and after a year out with a broken patella. Despite the numerous setbacks and debilitating injuries that have plagued her in the years that followed, when most other athletes would have thrown in the towel, Sam has fought and continues to fight, to be the very best that she can be.
Start Your Engines is the story of how, with a combination of grit, training and dogged motivation, it’s never too late to achieve your dreams.

Thoroughly engaging and fun listen
Sam Briggs can tell a story like she can perform - Bl**dy well! Having listened to numerous (all?) crossfit athlete biographies, Sam's definitely is a front runner. Sam has a relatable personality and humility to boot. No horn blowing, just a great account of her life and becoming a Games athlete. All the best for the future Sam!

Good book
Good book with some great humour throughout. Downfall was the narrator - wish it had been the author narrating
