{"product_id":"9780998913803","title":"Inspired: Pursuit of Progress","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter four Olympic Games, I began to reflect on the “Why” of my life as a professional snowboarder. For much of my young life and throughout most of my career, I believed that success would fulfill me. Most people do. I found myself driven for more- more medals, more exposure, more sponsors, and more people praising me for my performance. I realized that somewhere in the midst of successes and failures, accolades and achievements I lost myself. As I took inventory of all of it, I discovered that success did not equal fulfillment and if I didn’t start living from a healthy place, my influence would end when my career did.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is easy to look at the lives of professional athletes through the lens of fame. This lens filters out the hard stuff and paints a picture of a life without process- But, life is all about process. In this book, I set out to define what motivates me while helping others discover what might be motivating them. I help people change the “rose-colored” lens that leaves them apathetic and entitled, to a lens that brings the whole picture into focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book begins at the pinnacle moment in my career thus far- The Salt Lake City Olympic Games. From there, I journey back to the plastic snowboard my dad bought me when I was seven years old and describe the highs and lows that have marked my career. As the book develops, I identify obstacles, struggles, and hindrances to success, while providing strategies to overcome them. I build in foundations of belief, hard work, and consistency, all built around the one thing that every person must discover no matter what they do- WHY?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printopya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024369271024,"sku":"9780998913803","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780998913803_p0.jpg?v=1763893800","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780998913803","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
