Book description
Inspiration, something much needed in these times, abounds as Sir Steve
relates the entertaining tales of his fellow sportsmen and women that
spurred on his success. From Jonny Wilkinson's famous dropkick, Roger
Bannister's 4-minute mile and Brian Clough's self-belief to tales of
lesser known characters from his childhood and personal life, Sir Steve
narrates with passion and awe, the motivation gained from his heroes and
peers. Overcoming adversity, the importance of teamwork, graft and a
little bit of luck all contribute to Sir Steve's overwhelming triumphs,
both in and out of the boat, as he strove to overcome diabetes to win
his fifth gold medal in spectacular style. Here he divulges the stories
that inspired him, roused him and made his wildest dreams a magnificent
reality.
