Eight-Time Boston Marathon Winner and Paralympic Athlete Shares Her Story!
Jean Driscoll was named 25th of the top 100 women athletes in the century by Sports Illustrated for Women. Born with spina bifida (a hole in the spine), Jean was never supposed to walk. But because of her intense determination and true grit, she not only learned to walk but to fly — in a wheelchair across the finish line.
In her autobiography, Jean chronicles her flight from physical paralysis to true spiritual freedom. She shows us what perseverance can achieve and points us to the power of a God who gives courage and hope to overcome countless obstacles.

reviewed Determined to Win: The Overcoming Spirit of Jean Driscoll on March 17, 2016 Determined to Win: The Overcoming Spirit of Jean Driscoll
In less than two weeks, I finished reading Jean Driscoll's book, Determined to Win: The Overcoming Spirit of Jean Driscoll.
The book is a page- turner. I. Each chapter has its own story. And each story offers learning worthy to share the world. I admire Jean Driscoll's perseverance and dedication to achieve her dreams and be a success. Her overcoming spirit has led her to the journey she belongs.
Jean was born with Spina Bifida. She can't walk like normal kids do. She was restricted to certain activities that kids of her age are enjoying. She has been to debacles and discouragement brought by the disability. She even gave up pursuing her dreams and living her life as she was engulfed by the thought of being inutile. However, despite the deterrent and restrictions of living the life she ever wanted, Jean has gained everything she deserved through dedication, determination, and belief to God.
At April 2000, Jean Driscoll won a record- breaking the 8th- time Boston Marathon Winner and was proclaimed as the Queen of the Hill.
This book struck me. Jean having Spina Bifida achieved so much in life. So who I am to give up? Who I am to complain about everything?
Determination is the key. Winning is the goal. If we put our focus to the goal with the determination to succeed, it will happen. As Jean said, "I believe the biggest limitations we have are the ones we place on ourselves or the ones we allow others to place on us." Never set limitations instead explore possibilities that would show the way to achieving success.
Our biggest nemesis is ourselves, our thoughts. People would already label and constrain our victory. Yet we must not live within it because we can do more. The only way to discover our capabilities is to try, experiment, fail, learn, and pursue.
Keep focus on the goal, avoid people who bring you down, it not a loss, and get surrounded by the ones that push you up.
Like Jean Driscoll, let us all be determined to win and become a success in our unique stories.
