Ian Thorpe's achievements in the water are nothing short of phenomenal. He has won a record-holding 11 World Championship titles and ten Commonwealth Games gold medals. He has broken 22 world records and won five gold, three silver and one bronze Olympic medals. Having been under the spotlight since he was a young teenager, he retired from competitive swimming in 2006, but after five years he mounted a comeback for London 2012, and intense media attention followed. Thorpe is one of the world's most famous sportsmen, but it is the way he has managed his success and his commitment to helping others that has earned him respect and admiration internationally. This is a man who has had highs and lows away from the pool, who has led an extraordinary life of an elite athlete that most of us will never know, and who had the courage to come back and stake his claim for the ultimate goal once more.

Recensione:
'Fans of [his] easy style are in for a shock with his book... It turns out that there can be an emotional downside to becoming one of the greatest Olympians. The part of his book that Thorpe found hardest to write was the chapter on his depression,' Giles Hattersley, Sunday Times, 11/11
'Thorpe is different to most sportsmen and yet, for all his refined interests and sometimes fragile personality, he retains a hard competitive edge...The Australian swimming giant reveals his poignant battle against the dark side of his return to the pool,' Donald McRae, Guardian, 13/11

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. `Reveals his poignant battle against the dark side of his return to the pool' - Donald McRae, Guardian By the age of 14, at a time when most boys are coming to terms with teenage life, Ian Thorpe was representing his country and becoming the youngest ever individual male world champion. The `Thorpedo' was soon the most famous swimmer in the world, routinely picking up Olympic gold medals and setting record-breaking times. But behind the public face of success, there was the hardship of a life lived in the constant glare of media attention and rumour. As Thorpe continued to work for his fans, he hid away a secret battle against depression and was ushered into retirement at just 24 years of age. Raw, honest and compelling, Thorpe's memoir brilliantly unveils the costs that sometimes come with unimaginable success. `Fans of his easy style are in for a shock with his book' - Giles Hattersley, Sunday Times Synopsis coming soon.
