An extraordinary story of resilience and determination, from an incredible athlete Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill
The inspirational and powerful memoir from double world heptathlon champion and Team GB Olympian Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson has never had it easy. Born a child of two worlds her mothers working-class Liverpool and her fathers idyllic Bahamas she wasnt supposed to be a champion. Her early childhood was challenging. Raised by a single mother, at times it was a struggle for her to keep up with other athletes who had more funding around them. But she persevered.
Now, in her intimate, heartfelt autobiography, she tells her story as she never has before. She opens up about the pressures of representing Britain at the London 2012 Olympics, aged just nineteen, and about her complex relationship with mentor-turned-rival Jessica Ennis-Hill. Unbroken is a rare insight into the inner workings of a champions mind: the rigorous discipline, the undying passion for sport and the unshakable belief in ones self despite the odds.
Johnson-Thompsons journey has been a remarkable one. Her upbringing and career, both rich with challenges overcome and dreams pursued with relentless determination, serve as a powerful reminder that the human spirit is capable of extraordinary feats. But this is more than a story of triumph against the odds. Its a testament to the sweat, tears and laughter that pave the road to success, and to the unyielding spirit of a true champion.
