“As ironic as it might seem, retiring from professional sport was the first time I had to learn how to run my own race. I had to learn to set my own agenda, to self-edit, self-praise and be my own coach. Was it uncomfortable? Of course! Did I make mistakes? Absolutely! Did I question the things I had sacrificed to get there? 100%. I chose to unlock my adaptability and with this book, I will show you how to do the same.” Denise Lewis
