The power of achievements lie in the mindset. I love it when people with deformities break boundaries. This book would also serves as a tool for inspiration and motivation. Nice review.

The books looks like a wonderful biography that details the life of Dame Sarah Storey, who won multiple gold medals in the Paralympic Games for swimming and cycling, and includes how she was raised in a supportive environment which helped her career among other things. As I am not a huge fan of biographies, I think I will skip the book for now. Thank you for your review!

This sounds like an amazing biography about Sarah. My main interest to reading the book is to get to experience Sarah's contribution to the society and community's welfare as well as how she managed to be part of the two exciting sports, swimming and cycling, despite her being physically challenged. I'll add the book to my want to read shelf.

The review provided valuable insights. The book appears intriguing, focusing on Sara's challenging upbringing, marked by a "generous" share of life's troubles and a deformity in her left arm. I'm eager to dive into the story to discover how Sara managed to achieve so much despite these obstacles.

“Ride On! Dame Sarah Storey’s Extraordinary Journey of Triumph: How to Unleash the Power Within, Push Boundaries, and Champion Excellence” by S.A. Sterling is a biography of the exceptional achievements of Dame Sarah Storey as a swimmer, cyclist and her contributions to society. Sarah grew up in a loving family that helped shape her career and supported her during times of bullying, sickness and her relationship and marriage to Barnaby Storey. Sarah became Britain’s most decorated Paralympian and her contributions to community service and motivational speeches were amazing. Born with a deformity in her left arm, she did not give up but instead she had dreams that motivated her to excel in swimming and cycling. She won numerous gold, silver and bronze medals and she received many honors including being named Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. A very inspirational book.
