Though it can originate from a variety of sources, inspiration is most effective when it is derived from personal experience. This delightful book brilliantly narrates the life story of Dame Sarah Storey. A formula for everyone aspiring to greatness, not just sports.

Wow! This review is truly amazing. "Ride On" by Maduabuchi Okwiya N Eze sounds really inspiring. Having to distinguish perseverance and hard-work, and how Sara is actually driven by the external forces of society that would render a man-down (figuratively). I actually like it. Great for BOTD!

One unique thing about this book is Sarah's resilience and her ability to give back to the community through her "contributions to society and community welfare". It's a book I'd like to read.

Weird! That was my first thought at seeing the title - quite a lengthy one. I didn't know what to expect from the story. However, the detailed review was helpful.
"Ride on! Dame Sarah Storey's Extraordinary Journey of Triumph" by S.A. Sterling is a biography on the journey to becoming an exceptional and Britain's most decorated Paralympian of Dame Sarah. The book also underscores the challenges of Paralympic games, especially media coverage and gender inclusiveness. Sara's story also highlighted the theme of resilience, a positive mindset and philanthropic acts, showing the unlimited possibilities of not giving up.

The story of Sarah Storey's is amazing. Indeed, being raised well in a loving family and receiving continued support from our family and friends is vital to achieving our dreams and goals. I'm delighted that, despite battling bullying, illness, and injuries, Sarah Storey never gave up. I'm sure to give this book a read. Congratulations on being BOTD!
