We are striving to look at things in a different way and increase participation in gymnastics at all levels. What a totally honest young man Nile is, he is a credit to British Gymnastics and to his parents, I read his book in one session I really hope his life is full of highs and he successfully changes the culture of gymnastics, I also love his YouTube channel it always makes me smile.

His YouTube videos have been shown all over the world and his online following is increasing by over 100,000 people a month.

That says a lot for his love of the sport and his wanting it to be even better for average people consumption. Despite experiencing those dark days, Nile comes across as an optimist with an overwhelmingly positive message about how crucial it is to ask for help when you need it so you can avoid the pitfalls of self-pity that comes with self-destructive behavior. Nile Wilson is known to many as a Great Britain Gymnast who won a Bronze Medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics and who is England’s most successful ever gymnast at a Commonwealth Games following his 5 medals in 2018. It wasn't the most gripping and, as with many memoirs/auto biographies, it wasn't written perfectly, but despite that it was thoroughly enjoyable.

In this book, Nile gives an unprecedented look into his true battle to be fit and ready for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics—throughout the Games and the aftermath.

Vision OUR VISION OUR VISION IS TO RUN GYMNASTICS CLUBS AROUND THE COUNTRY THAT ‘CHANGE THE GAME’, DELIVERING UNIQUE AND MORE ENGAGING ACTIVITIES BALANCED AGAINST THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE GYMNASTICS PROGRAMMES. By both growing existing talent and nurturing new, we look to change both the environment our coaches work in as well as the positive outlook and focus they have for our gymnasts. I am honoured to be a part of this team and giving back to the sport that has been a significant part of my life. As Nile’s father, I have obviously walked almost every step with Nile so far in his career, so gymnastics is in my blood as much as it is his. Nile has his own merchandise range and is deeply passionate about getting youngsters into gymnastics.

I liked that it wasn't "me" centered, like many autobiographies by young people (24 yrs when written) Wilson is very much a fan of not just gymnastics but is very humble to the help that he achieved in his career and wants to pay it back. In 2016, he won bronze at the Rio Olympics and is tipped to win gold at the next World Championships and Olympics.
