Maggie Nichols’s official memoir is an inspirational tell-all about the abuse she suffered under the US national gymnastics team and how she managed to redefine herself in the face of adversity. With an introduction from Simone Biles. In 2015, Maggie Nichols’s gymnastics career was on fire. Having spent most of her young life training as an elite-level gymnast, Maggie carried the team all-around at the 2015 World Championships, helping to cinch the team gold medal. Next in her sights was the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. She was eagerly looking forward to training for the 2016 Olympic Games along with teammates such as Aly Raisman, Simone Biles, and Laurie Hernandez. But on the verge of achieving her lifelong Olympic dream, her world came crashing down. That summer Maggie revealed to her coach that USAG doctor Larry Nassar had been sexually abusing herself and other athletes under his care. What followed was an extensive investigation that would capture the nation’s attention and illuminate for the world the trauma and massive cover-up behind the scenes of one of the country’s most celebrated sports institutions. Ultimately, Maggie would go on to become an 8-time NCAA champion and an outspoken advocate for the protection of young children, especially young athletes. This inspirational tell-all offers an intimate look into the world of elite gymnastics, the sexual abuse scandal that shattered lives and dreams, and how Maggie Nichols risked everything in the name of justice. Maggie now tells this story in her words: a story of hope, trauma, reclamation, and above all, triumph.

See below for English description. Voici Clara Hughes: athlète, médaillée olympique et militante pour la santé mentale. Encore aujourd'hui, Clara est la seule personne au monde à avoir remporté plusieurs médailles aux Jeux olympiques d'été et d'hiver. Mais sa plus grande réussite est sans aucun doute le travail qu'elle a accompli pour aider les autres. Clara, qui a grandi à Winnipeg, a toujours aimé les sports. Elle n'a pas toujours été une athlète de haut niveau. Elle se trouvait même sur une mauvaise pente jusqu'au jour fatidique où elle a regardé le patineur de vitesse Gaétan Boucher, à la télévision, participer aux Jeux d'hiver de 1988. Clara a alors décidé qu'elle ferait la même chose. Cette décision a changé sa vie et l'a conduite à s'entraîner, à concourir et à gagner au niveau olympique dans pas moins de deux sports. Mais alors que le pays tout entier applaudissait ses exploits, Clara ne se sentait pas bien en son for intérieur. Elle a finalement réalisé que gagner toutes les médailles du monde ne lui permettrait pas d'aller mieux: elle devait consacrer autant d'efforts à sa santé mentale qu'à son entraînement. Les jeunes lecteurs découvriront la vie exemplaire de Clara Hughes et comment elle a appris non seulement à prendre soin d'elle, mais aussi à encourager les autres à faire de même. Meet Clara Hughes -- athlete, Olympic medalist and mental health advocate. Clara is still the only person in the world to ever win multiple medals at both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics. But perhaps her biggest accomplishment is the work she has done to help others. Growing up in Winnipeg, Clara liked sports. She wasn't a top athlete and was headed down a bad path until the fateful day she watched speed skater Gaétan Boucher compete at the 1988 Winter Games. Clara decided she would do that too. It was to be a life-changing decision, one that set her on a course of training, competing and winning at the Olympic level in not just one but TWO sports. But as the world was cheering her on, Clara didn't feel right inside. She finally realized that winning all the medals in the world wouldn't make her okay -- she had to work as hard on her mental health as she did on her training. Maybe even harder. Young readers will get the inside story of Clara Hughes's inspiring life and how she learned to not only take care of herself, but to inspire others to do the same.
