Just Add Water: My Swimming Life by Katie LedeckyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Katie Ledecky made history again in Paris. This was interesting; she wasn't the best swimmer when she started, but loved it. She talks about the level of sacrifice someone goes through for elite level training. As a teen, no hanging out with friends, etc. Fun reading about her relationship with her brother (and parents).
She also talks about Title 9 and the opportunities that came from it the woman athletes of yesterday did not have. She also points out the difference in coverage women's sports get vs men's sports. Overall, an interesting book from an interesting person.
