Coffee in hand I was browsing the bookshelves of Chapters when I came across Ronda Rousey’s book My Fight/Your Fight. I was drawn to a striking cover of Ronda’s piercing gaze when I picked it up as I must admit that back then I did not know who she was.

As I flipped through the pages, I learned about her status as the UFC’s undefeated women’s bantamweight champion; her Olympic standing in judo, but more importantly her laser-sharp focus, aspiring determination to succeed and astounding drive to be the best at what she does. I knew I had to add this memoir to my library.

She starts each chapter with a motivating intro followed by a relatable story from her life. I got a glimpse into a fighter’s world, what it takes to be one and how it is behind the scenes. I understood why she is still undefeated and walked away inspired to apply her principles in my own life.

“Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.” Winning is a habit…”
