Title: Dottir Pdf My Journey to Becoming a Two-Time CrossFit Games Champion

This is a memoir written and read by two-time CrossFit Games champion, Katrin Davidsdottir. 

Dottir is two-time consecutive CrossFit Games Champion Katrin Davidsdottir's inspiring and poignant memoir. As one of only two women in history to have won the title of "Fittest Woman on Earth" twice, Davidsdottir knows all about the importance of mental and physical strength. She won the title in 2015, backing it up with a second win in 2016, after starting CrossFit in just 2011.  

A gymnast as a youth, Davidsdottir wanted to try new challenges and found a love of CrossFit. But it hasn't been a smooth rise to the top. In 2014, just one year before taking home the gold, she didn't qualify for the Games. She used that loss as motivation and fuel for training harder and smarter for the 2015 Games. She pushed herself and refocused her mental game. Her hard work and perseverance paid off with her return to the Games and subsequent victories in 2015 and 2016. 

In Dottir, Davidsdottir shares her journey with listeners. She details her focus on training, goal setting, nutrition, and mental toughness.

Burn the boats. Read this in under 24 hours. Picked it up every chance I got. Inspirational, motivating. Katrin’s story goes to show that at the end of the day what matters most is your attitude and mental game. And her honesty about where she was before she worked on that side of the sport is exactly what every person needs to learn and understand about life regardless of their athletic pursuit (or lack thereof). I am appreciative of her putting it all out there and not just relishing in the glamour of being a champion. By sharing her up down up journey with us she is giving and teaching and BEING a champion. This book is also full of “starting points” for improving yourself as a person - books she’s read, resources she’s incorporated, and the revelation of how much effort and focus and time day in and day out it really takes to do what she does. This book has a place of visibility on my shelf so I don’t forget what I took away from it. At times she does show her young age, and being ten years older I imagine myself saying something similar then. Then I think - at her age look at what she has accomplished and the lessons she has internalized and then I imagine where she will be in ten years given her drive and determination to constantly improve. I am very much looking forward to more of her insights, wisdom, lessons and growth story in the future.Part biography part coaching inspiration My husband and I read a number of sports psychology books, and as an avid crossfit fan I love Katrin. I truly loved reading about Katrins journey and even better, found what she shared about growth and mindset to be so valuable for anyone who wants to become a better version of themselves. Great read!Sled Dog Work Ethic + Near Reckless Risk Taking = 2X Winner Sports memoirs are not for everyone. I found this one appealing for several reasons: 1. the insight into Icelandic culture, especially with respect to athletic women; 2. the culture and community of CrossFit; and 3. the minutiae of the athlete’s mind, and how minute by minute one must think to become a champion. Katrin is very candid about her mental and emotional struggles, and the reader benefits from the deeply honest examination of unproductive thought patterns during training and competition. It gave me much to think about with respect to staying motivated during the daily grind, and ways to think about setting and achieving goals in any endeavor, whether it be work, personal projects, diet, or fitness.Impressive indeed that a small island nation can produce a relatively high percentage of notable CrossFit Games competitors. Katrin describes the Viking background of Icelanders, and how dogged determination was required to settle and prosper in such a barren land. The “sled dog” mentality of digging into hard work is a perfect match for CrossFit training and competition. The friendly competition and supportiveness of the CrossFit community is highly beneficial in the grind of training. In a sport where one may be tempted to train in isolation, the community atmosphere, that doesn’t exist at many gyms, is emblematic in CrossFit gyms (at least in Katrin’s view.) My experience in my local gym is more of an individual endeavor, with little to no interaction or even eye contact with others. Talking to others would feel like a strange and unwelcome imposition. Katrin describes a real fitness community of support.I highly recommend this memoir, which sets the bar higher, meets and exceeds your expectations. Having watched several CrossFit Games documentaries, it is helpful to have an insider’s understanding on the nature of the challenges athletes endure.
