Watched Apolo compete back in the days. His book title Hard Pivot caught my attention, always interested to hear when people does a sudden turn in life and in what aspects. I can see why others describe this as a self-help book as it seemed/sounded ‘instructional’ (I listened to the audiobook), though I personally don’t categorize it as such. What I hear is his genuine eagerness to share what he had learned in hopes that it will benefit the reader. I hear honesty and true humility, the latter always the hardest to do for most of us. I’ve had recent similar experience as Apolo and would have to say the most important and (always) timely reminder this book gave me: Do not forget to B.R.E.A.T.H.E.

So thankful I read this book when I did. Such a beautiful reminder that we can pivot our life at any given time. I think this book is truly meant for someone who has experienced early on success in life or their career and is looking for reasons to keep moving forward, change gears or hard pivot, as he states. Easy read and the journaling prompts hit! Great reminders.
