Finnish figure skater Kiira Korpi''s career included triumphal championships and bitter disappointments. Trained from early childhood in a sport that demands uncompromising self-discipline and unrelenting work, her "fight until you make it" attitude brought her success and fame--and an insidious performance anxiety. Mental and physical burnout forced her retirement in 2015.
With interviews and quotes from family, friends, coaches and competitors, Korpi''s candid memoir describes the making and eventual undoing of a champion, reveals a darker side to the "ice princess" image of women''s figure skating and advocates a more holistic, athlete-centered model of training.
