Olympic Training: Live Talk and Workout with Gold Medal Winner Jessie Diggins

Olympic Training: Live Talk and Workout with Gold Medal Winner Jessie Diggins

Presented by ArtReach St. Croix and Valley Bookseller at Online/Virtual Space

In her debut memoir, Jessie Diggins (Brave Enough) recounts her transition from a typical Midwesterner to a gold-medal Olympian. Candidly recounting her struggles to face the physical and psychological pressure of high-intensity athletic competition, Diggins creates a story of both struggle and reward.

Readers of any athletic ability and experience will be caught up in this portrayal of thrilling sporting events, battles with eating disorders and intense pressure for success, and the satisfaction that comes from following the small voice inside of us urging us to be brave, no matter how high the stakes.

Immediately following the Q&A join Jessie for a 15 minute gold medal workout.
The only equipment you’ll need to participate is a book!

If the event fills up, you will also be able to access it via Facebook Live, Youtube Live, and Instagram Live feeds. 

This event is in partnership with NEA Big Read in the St. Croix Valley powered by ArtReach St. Croix.

During this global health and financial crisis, all Wordplay events will be presented free of charge. But this places a significant financial burden on the Loft. We need your support more than ever. If you have the ability, please consider making a donation to support the Loft and Wordplay today.

In addition, independent booksellers and authors are suffering during this crisis. If you haven’t already purchased Brave Enough, please consider buying your books through Wordplay partners including Valley Bookseller to support them and the authors.
