Redemption by Bryan Clay
Redemption is the
biography of Bryan Clay, reigning Olympic Gold Medalist in the Decathlon.
Bryan grew up in a somewhat broken home and tried to take
the easy way through life, not working hard at much of anything except causing
trouble. His God-fearing mother prayed for him through it all and told him that
she knew that He would do great things… until one day, he medaled in the
Olympics.
Not only is this story a great story of troubled kid turned
good, but this book takes you through the seldom-seen journey to being an
Olympian. It’s phenomenal and inspiring. With the Olympics coming up in a few
weeks it’s given me a whole new appreciation for the sacrifice the athletes go
through to become the very best at what they do. I’ll definitely be watching
for Bryan Clay in this Olympics; if he medals in the decathlon, regardless of
what medal it is, he’ll be the only decathlete to ever medal three times. Now,
that’s pretty cool.
