By Kate Smarjesse, Swimming World College Intern
Amanda Beard bravely addresses how she powered through many swimmers’ biggest insecurities in her book, “In the Water They Can’t See You Cry”. Although our weaknesses vary from one person to another, we all have things that we are constantly trying to improve– be it a certain stoke, start, flip turn, nutrition, or attitude.
Many people know Beard because of her swimming success. She was a one of the top swimmers in the nation from a very early age. She walks readers through her childhood years, through the joys and misery she experienced while in and out of the pool. Beard became the second youngest Olympic medalist in American swimming history at the 1996 Atlanta Games. She won a gold and two silvers at the age of 14, but life wasn’t perfect in the midst of success.
One of the most rewarding parts of this book is how easy it is for swimmers to relate to her life. She details what being on an Olympic Team is truly like, along with how she fought her way through difficult times.
