À propos de cet audio
From three-time Olympian and Olympic champion Kyle Shewfelt, this is the inside story of his pursuit of gymnastics glory, his courageous comeback from two broken legs, and how the difference makers in his life guided him along the way.
Kyle Shewfelt was at the top of his sport. A polished performer with an unrelenting drive to be the very best carried him to the pinnacle of men's gymnastics and a historic Olympic gold medal for Canada on the floor exercise. But when a mistimed landing in a training session at the world championships leaves him with two broken legs just 11 months before the next Olympic Games, Kyle's self-belief is cast into doubt, and he is forced to awaken a new level of determination to realize his final goal. Make It Happen is a motivational memoir that explores every aspect of Kyle's journey through sport.
From his early years of cartwheeling around his home and falling in love with gymnastics to his battles with perfectionism, taunting from a cruel bully, and a stint of teenage rebellion, Kyle gives a gripping and honest glimpse into the pursuit of his Olympic dream. He takes listeners behind the scenes to the epic Olympic after-parties and on the wave of post-Olympic fame, while also shedding light on the darkness of injury, the intensity of elite training, and the pressures of expectation.
Throughout, he shares how he conquered fear and self-doubt with the help of dedicated family, friends, teammates, coaches and mentors - first to reach the Olympic Games, then to stand on top of the podium, then to make a comeback in the wake of a devastating injury, and finally, to find a new sense of purpose in his life after retiring from elite sport.
With his trademark candor and spirit, Kyle pays tribute to the difference makers in his career and shares a fresh perspective on how to nurture a champion. This is a story of hope and resilience and what it takes to "make it happen", no matter what the goal.

Inspiring for both athletes and parents
I listened to this audiobook with my teenage son who is just starting his competitive gymnastics experience. We’d previously seen Kyle on Rick Mercer’s show and that was our first introduction to him, and I was happy to see him as a potential role model for my son, especially as we are also from Calgary, and gymnastics still somehow seems like a very female dominated crowd around here. When I saw this book, I jumped on it right away. It was an honest portrayal of the highs and lows of an Olympic journey and what happens after your ultimate goals have been achieved. A happy bonus was when I realized I grew up around the corner from Kyle’s grandparents and used to babysit for his cousins! Small world!
