Over It

How to Face Life’s Hurdles with Grit, Hustle, and Grace

About this book

Get a high-octane dose of encouragement from Lolo Jones, three-time Olympian and world champion hurdler and bobsledder.

Growing up in a broken home, Lolo learned to shoplift at a young age just to eat at night and sometimes slept on the basement floor of the Salvation Army. While her father was in prison, her mother worked multiple jobs, and Lolo realized she needed to be self-motivated, singularly focused, and unwilling to quit if she wanted to succeed.

Despite her difficult upbring Lolo's determination paid off and she went on to become a three-time Olympian and world champion hurdler and bobsledder. But Lolo is perhaps better known today not for all the races she's won but for the millisecond mistake that cost her an Olympic gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. With stunning authenticity about her own struggles, longings, and losses, she shows you how to face your challenges head-on and keep working to overcome them.

Over It will challenge you to:

  • Handle failure while pursuing your dreams
  • Recognize the difference between achieving a goal and experiencing success
  • Turn your most painful moments into the most successful
  • Use thankfulness and faith to develop healthy hindsight
  • Give and receive forgiveness as the path back to life

 

Reflecting on her own challenging spiritual journey, Lolo invites you to rest in God who can make all the difference in overcoming obstacles with both strength and joy. Over It will inspire you to deal with the challenges you face in your life and overcome them with determination and tenacity.
