“I highly recommend this book to any young gymnast who is currently navigating the challenges and sacrifices of being a competitive athlete. A fun, yet provoking read that will resonate with both the athlete and parent.”—JILL HICKS, athlete recruitment advisor, former Elite gymnast and NCAA coach
Against the vibrant backdrop of a 1970s Southern California beach town, Becca begins her quest for Elite gymnastics and the Olympics. With weekly weigh-ins, a curfew, and grueling workouts, her dedication is put to the test. Juggling the demands of gymnastics and high school, she’s torn between two worlds. She wants to be a champion, but she also wants to see her favorite band Queen in concert, and have a boyfriend.
When she learns to surf and experiences the extreme joy of riding her first waves, it changes everything. The joy and freedom she finds in the ocean make her realize that gymnastics, once her passion, has become a source of stress and pressure.
In this story of ambition and self-discovery, Becca grapples with the ultimate question: Can she have it all?
