One Saturday afternoon during the summer holidays, Marc Woods noticed his ankle looked unusually swollen. He put it down to the heat, or an off day, or maybe a knock playing football. But for seventeen-year-old Woods, a talented swimmer with dreams of a place on the Olympic team, an off day turned into an off year, and the swollen ankle turned out to be bone cancer. Marc Woods lost his left leg below the knee - but 18 months after he finished chemotherapy he represented Great Britain in the Paralympics. As part of the British paralympic team he won four Gold medals, spanning five paralympics, as well as many other medals at both European and World championships. In Personal Best he shares with the world what he has learned on this rollercoaster journey from trauma to triumph - about himself, about discovering what mattered to him and ultimately about not wasting a moment of his life once he'd got it back. It will help you identify your goals and focus on them, avoiding distractions, cherishing what's most important to you and disregarding the voices that tell you what can and can't be done. In 10 chapters Personal Best addresses subjects of motivation and maintaining it, being able to see the personal strengths of each individual, the importance of ambition, concentration and communication as key factors in achieving his goals. It is intensely practical, with lessons, tips and workouts. Personal Best is full of the wisdom Marc learnt on his journey that culminated in a gold medal at the Athens Paralympics.
