About Surfacing: From The Depths Of Self-Doubt To Winning

Product Description Surfacing is the inspiring story of Siri Lindley, one of the world’s best triathlon coaches and a world champion. But before Siri came to dominate the sport of triathlon, she was controlled by deep-seated insecurity that sabotaged her races and forced her to hide her sexuality. When her stunningly beautiful mother caught the attention of an NFL superstar, Siri’s idyllic childhood was ripped apart. A whirlwind of glitzy dinner parties and world travel pulled her mother away, and Siri grew up feeling forgotten. As her intense loneliness gave way to anger, she lashed out against her New England life of privilege. Sports set Siri free. Shy and painfully self-aware, Siri came to life when she played field hockey, lacrosse, and ice hockey, and became a starter in all three sports at Brown University. When she fell short of making the national lacrosse team, she felt directionless once again until a friend invited her to watch her race a triathlon―and ignited the fire for Siri’s life work. Siri failed early and often before she found her formula for success. Brutal swim starts, bike equipment failures at key races, crushing workouts―these were nothing compared to the performance anxiety that reared up from the depths of Siri’s early years. It took eccentric Australian coach Brett Sutton to tear up her script of self-doubt and transform Siri Lindley into a world champion. Once she had proved herself to the world, Siri turned inward to stare down the demons that kept her from finding love as a gay woman. Today, Siri guides her own triathletes to win world championships at Kona and around the world. Surfacing is a breathtakingly honest book that shares Siri Lindley’s daring journey. Siri proves it's never too late to rewrite your own story and change the thoughts, habits, and behaviors that hold you back. Surfacing will inspire you as it shows how to stop being your own worst enemy and start uncovering your own potential. Review “Surfacing is a journey through the full spectrum of growth and self-discovery that can only happen when we face the truth about our goals and who we are. From her idyllic childhood to the catastrophic emotional depths that world-class performance can demand, Siri Lindley brings us with her as she rises to find the peace that comes from living the truth in her soul. Siri shows how ‘failures’ lead to the greatest lessons as she shares the trials by fire that led to her deep personal changes and eventually made her a world champion. Can any of us look back at our lives and say we drew a straight line from start to finish? I don’t think so. Siri has the courage to show how compromising herself only caused pain and how living her true self has opened the doorway to a life filled with light and love and hope. Who wouldn’t want that?” ― Mark Allen, legendary triathlon coach and six-time Ironman World Champion “Siri’s story embodies the transformative power of self-belief.” ― Mirinda Carfrae, 3-time Ironman World Champion “I've known Siri Lindley since the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Back then, I was amazed by all she had achieved as a triathlete. Today, I’m even more impressed by what she’s accomplished as a coach. Surfacing is an inspiring story that gives new meaning to Siri’s triathlon career.” ― Joe Friel, author of The Triathlete’s Training Bible and co-founder of TrainingPeaks “Siri is one of the deepest thinkers in our sport with an intellect equal to anyone in it…Siri will be the best triathlon coach in America.” ― Brett Sutton, triathlon coach “Siri’s performances as a coach and an athlete are well known. What Surfacing brings to light is her remarkable character and history and shows how she was able to achieve such success in our sport.” ― Andrew Messick, CEO of Ironman “In her memoir, Siri Lindley, a former ITU world champion and now elite-level triathlon coach, reveals the true power of sports…Surfacing is an engaging read that provides insight into one of the biggest influencer
