Personal Best

by Denise Lewis

Growing up in a one-parent family, Denise would do the three-hour round-trip from Wolverhampton to Birmingham at the age of fourteen to train with her coach. She eventually shot to fame at the Sydney Olympics, winning the gold medal for Britain in the heptathlon event. Denise’s autobiography will be an inspiration for anyone who has a talent or a dream, and the determination to follow it through to the ultimate achievement.
