Winning Balance by Shawn Johnson

This is a biography about Shawn Johnson’s life before and after the olympics. It talks about her struggles and triumphs.In the beginning of the book it talks about her life when she was little and how she was not always the kid that everyone liked. It talks about how she started gymnastics and what she liked to do besides gymnastics. It also talks about her training before the olympics and how she spent endless hours practicing and training with her coaches and teammates. After the olympics, she went on the show Dancing with the Stars for one season, and ended up winning. This book talked a lot about how her faith fit into her career. She prayed and trusted that God would help her through hard times, when she didn’t think that she could get through them by herself. My favorite part of this book is when she goes to the olympics and gets gold because it didn’t seem like it was possible for her too, but she trusted in God and did her best and then she won. I also liked how she said when she got home, she needed to remind herself to be humble and just like herself before she became famous. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes gymnastics or encouraging books in general.
