Run with Me: The Story of a U.S. Olympic Champion is a quick and encouraging read for young athletes -- especially track athletes. I loved how she interspersed her deep and personal faith in Jesus Christ throughout the pages and shared so many details about how she trained to be a runner.
This book is not designed for adults. The age listed on the book is 8-12, but I think teenagers would also greatly benefit from its encouragement. It was very clean and appropriate, and I really think that kids ages 10-20 could really benefit from her words of encouragement, focus, and dedication.
Sanya Richards-Ross has been a runner her whole life, and in the pages of this book she shares details of her life as a person and an athlete. Originally born in Jamaica, her family moved to the USA so she could train more intensely.
Run with Me is Sanya’s story—her wins and her losses—chronicling her unique triumphs and trials with fame, family and faith. Written purposely for the 8-12 audience, this book will inspire kids to pursue their dreams at full speed.
Run With Me has a beautiful embossed cover. If you have a young athlete, this would be a great book for them!
I received a copy of this book from www.booklookbloggers.com in exchange for my honest review.
