\r\nMomentum: Chasing the Olympic Dream
\r\n
\r\nBy Pete Vordenberg
\r\n
\r\n(Beating back the holiday blues since 2002)
\r\n
\r\n“The marvel of Vordenberg's book is that it appeals to the non-skier as well as to ski racers past and present. Healthy doses of self-revelation, touches of On The Road, and remarkable insights make this a unique book. It's supposedly about skiing--but it's more about life and seizing it.” Review at outyourbackdoor
\r\n
\r\n “Pete's life would balance the scales of 10,000 ordinary men…” from a review at Amazon.
\r\n
\r\n“***** five stars out of five… engaging personal memoir is informative, entertaining…” Midwest Book Review
\r\n
\r\n“This writing is a total rush of heart and soul, as twisty, full of speed, and unrelenting as the courses Pete challenged himself on. There is no comparison to other athletes' books… intellectual grace and power as a writer and story teller. I loved his unique way of telling his story, like a meandering trail in all seasons, evolving and alive…” from a review at Amazon.
\r\n
\r\n“Vordenberg's book is about pursuing a dream and using all your energy to do it right. It is a great motivator and gives insight into the world of elite aerobic athletes…” Review at Amazon
\r\n
\r\n“the most compelling athlete's book I've ever read. It may not have the drama of Lance's return from near death, but it's got as much guts and and more real life (even if not quite so much glory). It's a wonderful, inspiring, great book. Read it, then go skiing…” Review at Amazon
\r\n
\r\n“high jinks adventures and merry pranks to balance the triumphs and failings with delightful levity…” Review at Amazon.
\r\n
\r\n“a kaleidescope of adventure…” Review at Amazon.
\r\n
\r\n“Vordenberg puts you there. Right in his sweaty polypro's. This is spot-on, creative non-fiction. The trail-saavy wisdom and burning desire…” Review at Amazon.
