Review

“I would highly recommend anyone involved in gymnastics to take the time to read this book.

Personally, as a coach, I think it’s important to do our best to understand the other side of the story to help form and grow stronger and healthier relationships with our athletes. This provides a unique combined father/daughter perspective of an entire career in an amazing sport.

Congratulations to Olivia and Jim on a job well done.” – Owen Field, Assistant Coach, Florida Gators

“Coming from a gymnastics dynasty – my mother being
the Mary Lou Retton – and being a D-1 athlete, I can tell you that this book is a must-read. The playful conversation, their genuine honesty and willingness to share the highs and lows of a gymnast’s journey, and their ability to capture the spirit of competition makes this book just what any parent or athlete needs.” 

McKenna Kelly, 3-time All-American gymnast at LSU

“Confessions is a real and raw read of true events, emotions and firsthand stories of a D-1 athlete and her dad. This must-read provides an eye-opening experience, taking you behind the scenes into the daily struggles an athlete goes through mentally, physically and emotionally. This book is powerful, emotional, and incredibly informative.”

Margaret Nichols – 2-time NCAA All-Around champion, USA National team member
