The most important gold

Hello everyone, today I will write an article that I read in “The Guardian” that is a British newspaper. This article tells us a story about Gemma Spofforth, the world record holder and former world champion at the 100m backstroke. She has a few episodes in her life that made her think about suicide. But after some sessions and other kind of helps she get better. Even after that “suicide” event, she starts to help another people and also she gets a place on a Masters course in mental health counseling. The article also says something about that she will publish her autobiography after the London Olympics this year. So if anybody wants to know more details about her or the story it will have to wait until this September to read more.

 I like this article because I’m interested in this kind of Psychology that is related with sports. And I think that if she was being with some support before and during all that bad episodes in her life, she never had the idea of suicide. Her life it’s complicate just for being a high-ranking swimmer, so you can imagine the pressure that comes with that.

 It’s interesting her case, because she has a very good ending, even she can name her book like “The rainbow after the storm” it will be nice.

  That is for today, read me next time!
