An inspiration and motivation book

I owned a copy of this book since 1981, right after it was release in England, and until today, this inspiration book placed the most unique place in my heart.Many people has found the movie 'Nadia' inspiration, but none can compare to this book, more closer to the real Nadia's own story. This book told you the courage and brave and clever little girl who went through the most important growth time of her life. Her thoughts, her struggles, her love and total dedication for her sports were so unique, which made Nadia Comaneci until today an unreplaceable icon in gymnastics. She is the person who was selected to be the Greatest Gymnast and one of the greatest athlete in 20th Century. After 26 years of her innovative Comaneci Salto in bars event, was rated as the ultimate most difficult movement in the year 2001 Gymnastics New Code Of Point. Today, only a number of gymnasts got to do it, and we can see that how advance technically she was of not only her time but today as well. Her 14 years old of winning the Montreal Olympics All Around title, with the world first perfect ten that even the electronic scoreboard was not ready for it. Her 3 consecutive European All round title, through her physical growing period is a record until today no one came close. Her dedication to technical superiority and artistics expression in gymnstics, that set a new trend in modern gymnastics until today. She held records that are not able to be written off, and influent in the sports beyond imaginations.Yet, beyond all the glories and fames, you can find this book, the most honest, caring and humble nature that made this lady to be unique of all. You will find her consistant to her words until today. You can find her present involvement in gymnastics, charities and youth motivation came from thoughts years ago. Her words in the book live up to the expectation of the real person she is today. Her words in this book will keep you inspire and aim for the impossible, I am one of the person who truly inspired by her words in the book. I would like to expressed that it is a book that you must have and share with others who wanted to be motivated.Best Wishes.

I LOVE this book. I am probably Nadia's biggest fan! It gave me inspiration as a gymnast and as a person. It is a real treat because it is from Nadia's viewpoint. There is also a movie based on her book, called " Nadia". I am currently looking for my own copy of this book and movie. They were great!
