Description

All In is Laura Massaro's honest, raw and personal story of how she became one of the greatest squash players the UK has ever produced. From a shy, young athlete sometimes crippled by nerves and self-doubt, to a World No.1 and World Champion in an intense, gruelling sport, All In takes you on a deeply personal and inspiring journey. Laura is candid about the struggles of balancing relationships off the court with success on it, not least with her coach and husband Danny, and she takes you behind the scenes on the darkly competitive world of the professional squash circuit. From her battles on court to her fight behind the scenes to establish equal prizemoney at squash's biggest tournament, this is a rollercoaster ride of emotions that takes the reader into the head and heart of one of the world's most accomplished sportswomen. All In is a story of tears, turmoil and, ultimately, triumph. – Featuring guest chapters from Laura’s close team as well actual diary entries from the time, Laura Massaro’s All In gives an in-depth insight into the realities of competing at the highest level of one of the world’s most gruelling sports. – “Laura Massaro embodies everything when it comes to being ALL IN. Her story is inspiring because it show that you don’t have to be the most talented, the fastest or the most skilful in order to reach the top. What you need is the mindset and Laura’s mindset made her one of the toughest competitors out there.” Amanda Sobhy No.1 US squash player “A unique insight into one of Britain’s unsung sporting champions.” Nick Matthew, former World No.1 squash player
