About this product

Product Information

If there were such a thing as an "elder" stateswoman in women's gymnastics today, Nadia Comaneci would win that title as readily as she once won gold medals. Olga Korbut came before her, and many other medalists would follow, but none has ever been as dominant in winning the hearts of millions around the world. With grit and determination, Nadia Comaneci ushered in a new era for women's sports, one where young girls could vault into the arena of superstardom. Even today, almost thirty years after her greatest triumphs, you need only mention the name "Nadia" and gymnastics fans know instantly whom you are talking about.In Letters to a Young Gymnast, Nadia shows what it takes to achieve athletic perfection and become the best. With inspiring and dramatic stories from her own experience, she tells us how the young girl that Bela Karolyi discovered in a Romanian elementary school found the inner strength to become a world-class athlete at such a young age. This collection of Nadia's memories, anecdotes, and advice grants unique insights into the mind of a top competitor. From how to live after you've realized your dream, to the necessity of "a spirit forged with mettle," Nadia's thoughts on athleticism and sacrifice are eye-opening and surprisingly challenging.

  • Letters To a Young Gymnast

    This book by Nadia Comaneci was an outstanding! It was a very inspirational story about Nadia's gymnastics career. She did an amazing job of retelling the good,bad,happy,and sad moments and memories that she lived through. Comaneci was such a good gymnast who set the standards for elite women gymnasts by having two skills named after her and becoming the first to score a perfect 10! She also went on to win several Olympic medals in her lifetime. I bought this book because i am a young gymnast myself. I am not nearly as good as she was but her book was very uplifting. All young gymnasts out their should most definitely read this wonderful book, i have no doubt in my mind that it will disappoint anyone who picks it up.
