From the lush fields of his boyhood in Jamaica, to his sprint toward double Olympic gold for Canada in Atlanta in 1996, Donovan Bailey got a long way on natural talent. But he also learned that in the bureaucratic world of sports, an athlete who didn't come up in the system needed to take charge of his fate if he was going to become the world's best. Frank about his dominance on the track and unapologetic for expecting as much of those around him as he expects of himself, this is a memoir of Olympic glory, the value of mentorship and the courage to champion your own excellence.
