Description
Sir Chris Hoy knows better than most how life can change in the blink of an eye.
In elite sport, the margin between victory and defeat is minuscule, and the pressure is immense. Chris has built a glittering sporting career by understanding how to feel that pressure, how to cope with it, and how to make it count.
Last year, he faced another life-changing moment. He found out that the ache in his shoulder was in fact a tumour, and that he had Stage 4 cancer.
He will be living with this disease for the rest of his life.
In this memoir, Chris shares the next phase of his extraordinary life with exceptional bravery. He reflects on the challenges he has faced and the ways he has taken them on. With his wife Sarra and their young children by his side, he shares how he has used these experiences to find ways to focus on the moments that matter, showing us how to do the same.
