Episode 44 - Just Add Water

Episode 44 - Just Add Water

This episode, I am reviewing Katie Ledecky's Just Add Water. It is a memoir about her youth and journey as a swimmer. She is the most decorated American female swimmer in history. Her memoir focuses on her life as a swimmer. She glosses over most of her childhood and adolescence. She focuses on the swimming and her journey to multiple Olympic gold medals. There isn't much struggle discussed in the book. There are no juicy details about her life or any discussion of the difficulties of adolescence. Overall, the book felt a little bit shallow (pun intended), but there are some decent insights into goal setting. So at least that's something.
