Summary

This program is read by the author.

On the last night of the 2021 CrossFit Games, ten thousand fans watched in horror as Brooke Wells’ elbow dislocated under the weight of a 190-pound barbell. This is the extraordinary story of what happened next: How Wells pulled off a highly improbable comeback that transformed her mentally and physically into one of the fittest women in the world.

In Resilient, Wells provides a refreshingly honest, authentic account of how she overcame fear, self-doubt, and a slew of unexpected obstacles to return to the CrossFit Games less than a year after undergoing total elbow reconstruction. A story of strength, passion, courage, and grit, Resilient is a celebration of one athlete's extraordinary spirit and her inspiring ability to never say die.

Critic reviews

“A comeback story that makes a strong case for living on the edge of your comfort zone.”—Dave Castro, CrossFit

“For most, an injury like Brooke’s would have been career-ending. She chose to make it the beginning of an incredible comeback story.”—Mat Fraser, 5x CrossFit Games Champion

Resilient is an inspiring and meticulous book. Brooke’s story will give the reader confidence in overcoming their own setbacks and face their challenges head on, just as Brooke did. I highly recommend this book to anyone that has challenges in their life and won’t take no for an answer.”—Tia-Clair Toomey, Olympian, 6x CrossFit Games Champion, Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist
