Product Description
Shannon Miller, the most decorated gymnast in American history, has won sixteen medals and is one of the sports world's most positive role models. Yet none of it would have happened if a little girl from Oklahoma hadn't dared to dream . . . and followed up on that dream with hard work, commitment, and a firm belief in herself.
"I've learned to be disciplined and organized in order to balance gymnastics, college, and a social life," says Shannon. But how does she do it? And is that kind of focus within your reach? Yes! With friendly, upbeat advice, Shannon shares how she succeeds in being a winner both inside and outside the gym. Inspiring sections in Winning Every Day include:
Getting motivated
Setting goals
Eating healthy (with recipes!)
Handling stress
Finding spiritual fulfillment
Achieving your dreams
and much more, including personal gymnastics anecdotes, diary excerpts, and full-color photos from Shannon's private collection. Winning Every Day - Shannon Miller's down-to-earth approach to getting the most out of life - will make you a winner too!

 Very Intresting May 12, 2004
Elisabeth (Moreno Valley, CA USA)
I had heard about this book for a long time, but I hadn't bothered to read it because I didn't want to read some boring book about how to improve your life.But recently I decided to give it a go and I borrowed it from our library. I was pleasantly surprised! This book is full with stories about Shannon, and it gives you some insight into her life, career, and faith. It was nice to finally read some things written by Shannon, not about her. If you want to read about Shannon's life in her own words, read this book. You won't be disappointed! And no, Shannon does not tell you how to improve your life, she only gives suggestions and explains how different things worked for her, and could work for you. NOTE: This book is not a biography. It's only a bunch of stories strung together, but any die-hard gymnastic fan should read this book.
This book is so worth reading!!!!!!! May 4, 2003
This book was so good!! it had atleast one picture on each page. Shannon began each chapter with a diary entry. She explained her gymnastics life and her non-gymnastics life. It if more like a fun biography!

"Winning Every Day" is a wonderful, well-written book. This book combines an autobiography of Shannon Miller with lessons and motivators that will help you do better in gymnastics and will make your life happier and healthier. From reading this book, you really feel like you know Shannon Miller. It's also filled with tons of amazing pictures of Shannon, family members, gymnasts, and much more. Some things this book covers include eating healthy-this chapter had wonderful recipies that Shannon enjoys herself, fear and pain, stress and what to do about it, acheiving dreams in and out of gymnastics, setting goals, competition, faith, and much more. Shannon also shares many secrets that explain how she got to the top in gymnastics and how she was able to stay successful in the sport for so long. A wonderful book for all gymnasts, this book will motivate you and help you become a better gymnast.
 Very Inspirational December 21, 2002
I enjoyed this book and it covered a lot of fabulous topics about gymnastics, school and social life, as well as the sacrifices and efforts she made to become an Olympian. My only criticism was that b/c Shannon comes across as a private person (I don't blame her) the parts about her personal life seemed brief. What I really admire about this young woman is her strength and attitude. I disagree with the rating that said Shannon portrayed herself as 'too perfect'. Shannon is a wonderful gymnast, a fabulous student, a spiritually-connected woman who is close with her family and friends, and demonstrates huge self-discipline to maintain being the best she can be. As far as I'm concerned, she is pretty darned close to perfect. Actually, I was impressed that Shannon acknowledged the intense effort and commitment to get her to where she is. She didn't make it all out to be peaches and cream, yet she has such a positive attitude. She is definitely the most decorated gymnast! I would especially recommend this to younger gymnasts - it's easy to read and it gets to the point!
Inspirational! September 16, 2002
