Ratings and reviews

The world is changing and it's woman like Ronda Rousey who are apart of that. Great book of someone who has been battling her whole life and won't give up.

I would recommend this book. The advice on what it takes to be a winner at something is displayed in a way i have yet to have seen or heard of. I seek advice on how to win at stuff as a professional poker player because in my profession losses are part of the terrain. I can lose a pot. I can lose my blinds. I can have a losing session. I can even lose multiple sessions in a row. Knowing how the mindset of a true winner is, is more important to me than most. She is a winner and the fact that she had much adversity in her private, romantic & family life brought me to a place emoionally i have rarely found myself in. That adversity she has faced and the way the book was written could easily be read in a flight to Hong Kong. I believe anyone who reads this book can actually feel more than a fan; they can feel as her friend.

...but looking forward to see what Ronda will do in the future. This book gives you an insight to what she went through as a fighter and a person, all the good and the bad. It was inspirational and just a good read in general. I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end and will be on the lookout for the next one.
