Summary

Known worldwide for her mental fortitude, hardcore training tactics, and an ability to push through extreme discomfort, pro athlete Sally McRae’s strength wasn’t built in the gym. For the first time, McRae candidly tells her shocking story of abuse, loss, and wild resilience that laid the foundation for the woman she is today. In this powerful memoir, Sally bypasses the often-loud sea of motivational quotes and hyped ideas about what it means to be strong, cutting right to the core of every human with her gentle yet firm reminders that we are all strong!

Honest, relatable, and raw, every listener will connect with Sally’s story and see how they too can overcome even the most difficult situations in life and sport. Choose Strong is a story for everyone from every age and walk of life looking to live their strongest life.

Sensational

I stumbled upon Sally through Cam’s Keep Hammering podcast.

Her desire, will and resilience spoke to me.

I downloaded Choose Strong and found her own story fleshed out as very inspiring.

A must read for anyone going through hardships.

Best of luck for the future Sally.

Looking forward to Part 2.

Different to what I was expecting

I was expecting running tips & tricks kind of book, it’s more of sally’s life & how she came to be.
If you’re already a fan of sally then this is worth your time, I must also say sally has a fantastic narration voice.
Looking forward to a part two!

Raw and heart warming

I was sort of prepared that it would be a rough ride listening to this. The listening definitely benefits from having the author reading it, it gives a genuine feeling. The ups and downs of Sally's life brings out feelings of loss and mourning, but also hope and a healthy reflection of how we value ourselves. Keep up being you Sally.
