Whether it's sport, art, maths or just spending time with friends, this book will help young readers discover what it is they love and how they can harness this to achieve whatever they want in life.
Written in collaboration with children’s mental health expert Laura Earnshaw, this empowering book is packed full of Jonnie’s own stories alongside practical tips, tricks and journaling opportunities, with inspiring chapters on:
– Embracing uniqueness
– Finding what you love
– Making it happen
– Mind-body connection
– Stepping out of your comfort zone
– Bouncing back from adversity

Children will learn that happiness is something that can be actively worked on and found with hard work, a good mindset, plenty of patience and a whole heap of determination! All things Jonnie brings into his daily life and practice, so he can be the athlete he is today.
