Santia Deck's evolution from a track star into the world's highest paid women's football player, and then into an entrepreneur is an epic story - but there is so much more to it.
Santia Deck would have had good reason to give up on chasing her dreams. Going from a life of luxury, to stocking her pantry from neighbors and food banks, certainly would be enough for anyone to go through. Couple that with difficult relationships, and career halting injuries, her victory story is incredible.
Her memoir is the result of someone who never gave up on her dreams, no matter how hard it seemed. More Than an Athlete is the story of one girl pushing through obstacles, adapting to her surroundings, and never giving up on her dreams, even when she was met with challenges and hardships. Few of us will ever experience the pressure of performing as a professional athlete, but we can all understand that it requires extreme patience and dedication. This story is the perfect combination of vulnerability, strength, and incredible experiences. More Than an Athlete, like its author, is a unique and inspirational masterpiece.
