Van Cleave Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In her first book for children, Olympic medalist Nancy Kerrigan shares scenes from her childhood as she learns how to work hard, believe in herself, and to land her first axel jump. Publisher Description Nancy (age 8) and her family sacrifice time, money, and effort into her clear skill, talent, and passion for figure skating. Shes really good at it, but money is tight while shes learning to land the hardest of figure skating jumps - the axel. And she must be able to do one in order to go to her first competition. Her skates are too small, her feet hurt, but try after try, she gets up off the ice and takes another turn around the ice until she finally lands that first (wobbly) axel and then lands it solidly at her first competition. Persistence, hard work, and the importance of believing in yourself are highlighted in this story from the earliest moments of Nancy Kerrigans figure skating career. From the authors note: From the earliest moments in my skating career, I faced obstacle after obstacle. But I kept trying. Every time I fell, I got back up. Every time I failed, I tried again. Every time someone told me no, I kept working until I earned a yes.. Eventually, I learned that I had more strength within me than I ever realized. And heres great news-youre stronger than you think, too. Author Biography Nancy Kerrigan is a former professional figure skater and the 1992 U.S. Ladies Figure Skating Champion.
