Nile Wilson is one of Great Britain's most successful gymnasts of all time.
He won Britain's first ever Olympic medal on the High Bar with a bronze in at the 2016 Rio Olympics. He is also England's most successful ever gymnast at the Commonwealth Games, with a total medal haul of five golds, three silvers and a bronze.
Yet Nile is so much more than just a gymnast. An online content creator, an entrepreneur, a successful businessman and an advocate for mental health awareness. Nile Wilson - My Story gives an unprecedented look into Nile's entire journey in and out of gymnastics. People often presume to know so much about Nile due to his huge online audience, but this book will shatter that perception.
Nile talks through how he rapidly rose to gymnastics stardom; his views on gymnastics coaching; the enormous battles he faced with injury that eventually forced him into retirement; his battles with gambling and mental health issues; his family; and how he successfully moved into business. Importantly, he finally lifts the lid on the true details behind the fall out with Leeds Gymnastics Club and British Gymnastics, and how the future of the sport needs to be shaped. No stone is left unturned.
