It affects blood pressure and can pool blood in the vessels below the heart causing dizziness, fainting and exhaustion, though Ledecky said she had a mild form of the syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>Many stories have not been shared before, but what makes this memoir so different and incredible is how much she dives into the people around her.<\/p>\n<p>Ledecky wrote a chapter on each coach she has had, plus her mother, her father, her brother, each of her grandparents &#8211; everyone that has had a huge impact on her life.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it be the grandfather who fled Czech Republic to come to the U.S., or the other who fought in four battles in World War II, a special connection with parents and siblings, or a nugget she picked up from a coach, it is a familiar story to a lot of us.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of us feel ordinary.<\/p>\n<p>I know I am one of those people &#8211; and I am not using &#8220;ordinary&#8221; as a cut down by any means.<\/p>\n<p>But I feel like I am living a &#8220;normal&#8221; life and what might make me interesting is the people around me. From my grandparents overcoming tragedy to my 98-year-old great uncle who fought in Okinawa in World War II, perhaps alongside Ledecky&#8217;s grandfather &#8211; to the place I work &#8211; both Swimming World and the USA Today Network &#8211; there are a lot of factors around me that make my career seem more captivating than it probably is.<\/p>\n<p>And that is a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>We all have that.<\/p>\n<p>Ledecky, the greatest swimmer in the world showed in her heartfelt writing that you don&#8217;t need to overcome a tragedy or injury or be controversial to have a captivating story.<\/p>\n<p>You just have to know who you are, what is important to you, and for Ledecky, that is clearly the people she surrounds herself with.<\/p>\n<p>What a refreshing read that will have everyone interested in those people for Ledecky, while they are also thinking about those people in their own lives.<\/p>\n<p>Very few memoirs have that theme &#8211; and this one is worth the read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Katie Ledecky is simply put, one of the greatest swimmers in history.
