Personal Best (PDF)

True inspiration from a true inspiration

"...vibrant and instructional ... fresh, original and devoid
of the usual sound bites and transatlantic psychobabble of many
books of this genre..."

--The Independent on Sunday

It's not always easy to embrace life, to get up and go, to
follow your dreams and make things happen... imagine how much
more difficult it must be to achieve your dreams after suffering
from cancer as a teenager and losing your leg. But that's exactly
what Marc Woods did. Marc overcame his challenges and went on to
become a four times Paralympic Gold medalist. It's that
determination and dedication that Marc shares with us in this
powerful book. His inspiring story is the motivation we all need to
start being the best we can be. This fully updated Second
Edition includes a new chapter on Resilience.

"Personal Best is a truly inspirational book, written
with great honesty, compassion and humility. Marc's ability to
overcome adversity and triumph in so many diverse areas is an
example to us all."

--Sarah, The Duchess of York

"Marc has a remarkable story and is an absolute
inspiration."

--Roger Daltrey
