Synopsis

Dottir is the inspiring and poignant memoir written and read by two-time CrossFit Games champion, Katrin Davidsdottir.

As one of only two women in history to have won the title of “Fittest Woman on Earth” twice, Davidsdottir knows all about the importance of mental and physical strength. She won the title in 2015, backing it up with a second win in 2016, after starting CrossFit in just 2011.

A gymnast as a youth, Davidsdottir wanted to try new challenges and found a love of CrossFit. But it hasn't been a smooth rise to the top. In 2014, just one year before taking home the gold, she didn't qualify for the Games. She used that loss as motivation and fuel for training harder and smarter for the 2015 Games. She pushed herself and refocused her mental game. Her hard work and perseverance paid off with her return to the Games and subsequent victories in 2015 and 2016.

In Dottir, Davidsdottir shares her journey with readers. She details her focus on training, goal setting, nutrition, and mental toughness.

Katrin is a fun girl with an amazing work ethic and athlete mentality. The story is interesting to anyone who has at least tried CrossFit, but even more so to anyone who’s competed in it. The problem is the writing which is pretty horrible and very social media if that makes sense (she herself write......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on August 09, 2019

Dottir was seemingly everything I thought it wouldn't be. I expected Davidsdottir's first book to be another lighthearted fitness memoir, but I was incredibly wrong.
