Dottir: My Journey to Becoming a Two-Time CrossFit Games Champion | Katrin Davidsdottir
This is a memoir by two-time CrossFit Games champion, Katrin Davidsdottir. Dottir is two-time consecutive CrossFit Games Champion Katrin Davidsdottir's inspiring and poignant memoir. As one of only two women in history to have won the title of “Fittest Woman on Earth” twice, Davidsdottir knows all about the importance of mental and physical strength. She won the title in 2015, backing it up with a second win in 2016, after starting CrossFit in just 2011. A gymnast as a youth, Davidsdottir wanted to try new challenges and found a love of CrossFit. But it hasn't been a smooth rise to the top. In 2014, just one year before taking home the gold, she didn't qualify for the Games. She used that loss as motivation and fuel for training harder and smarter for the 2015 Games. She pushed herself and refocused her mental game. Her hard work and perseverance paid off with her return to the Games and subsequent victories in 2015 and 2016. In Dottir, Davidsdottir shares her journey with readers. She details her focus on training, goal setting, nutrition, and mental toughness.

Not to take away from her accomplishments as an athlete, but this was dry, repetitive, and gave me no real insight what it's like to train for something of this caliber. Honestly I would rather have read a memoir by her coach. I hate to say it but this is the kind of memoir people are referring to when they say young people shouldn't write memoirs. It's really not the age of the writer, but there isn't enough real insight there.

Ruthiella She needed a better ghost writer perhaps!🤨 5y
8little_paws @Ruthiella it's not even a ghostwriter, the co authors name is not a secret lol. Honestly she needs more time to reflect. Miranda Alcaraz, a fellow CF gamer who's older than Katrin, doesn't have a book but btw her Instagram and her podcast I've gotten more info about elite athlete life and training (and post elite athlete life) than I did here. 5y
