About this audiobook
Dottir is the inspiring and poignant memoir written and read by two-time CrossFit Games champion, Katrin Davidsdottir.
As one of only two women in history to have won the title of “Fittest Woman on Earth” twice, Davidsdottir knows all about the importance of mental and physical strength. She won the title in 2015, backing it up with a second win in 2016, after starting CrossFit in just 2011.
A gymnast as a youth, Davidsdottir wanted to try new challenges and found a love of CrossFit. But it hasn't been a smooth rise to the top. In 2014, just one year before taking home the gold, she didn't qualify for the Games. She used that loss as motivation and fuel for training harder and smarter for the 2015 Games. She pushed herself and refocused her mental game. Her hard work and perseverance paid off with her return to the Games and subsequent victories in 2015 and 2016.
In Dottir, Davidsdottir shares her journey with readers. She details her focus on training, goal setting, nutrition, and mental toughness.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Easy listen that captures Kathrine's development as an athlete. The narration by Kathrine was clear and pleasurable to listen to.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hearing HER was absolutely amazing. This is an honest, real, raw depiction of the life of a champion. It's a must listen.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Katrins goal was to inspire people, and that's what she did. She doesn't only inspire me at the level of crossfit/sports, she even inspired me while writing motivational letters for PhD positions.
Thanks
P.s. Can all audiobooks be read by her? Her voice is so comforting. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enjoyed learning and hearing the story of this famous CrossFit athlete. A little slow at times but still very good overall.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I don’t usually like this type of book. Normally the storytelling is super dry and monotonous. Somehow Katrin’s radiant personality shines through and she shares so much more than just winning and losing. It’s embarrassing but she had me in tears several times. I plan to listen to it a second time. I can only say that about a couple of books in my whole life. Well done Katrin!!
