You just clicked the link that says, “The Book.” Yet, I’m still a little uneasy with the idea of being a writer. When I think of authors, I think of John Grisham, C.S. Lewis or even Annie Downs. I don’t think of Athena Perez. I’ve never been an author; I’m a novice and completely inexperienced in this new world. However, I felt a nudge from God to write. Yep, he nudged me, and I did it!
Trust me when I say the fear was real. It all started with a little dryness of mouth, dampness of face, a slight quiver in the abdominal region—sheer, unadulterated panic. I was never an English or journalism major, and I never studied communication. I struggle at times to find the words I need to adequately express how I feel or the message I am trying to convey. However, I found a love in pouring my story on paper.
I’ve been sharing parts of my story on my blog and social media, but only in tiny pieces. I can’t wait to share the rest with you.

"Ever since I saw her story in the CrossFit Journal Athena has been a source of inspiration to me. I have followed her on social media for a while now and looked forward to her book! It was so worth the read and I look forward to reading more from her!"
- E.L.
"As a Christian, Crossfitter, and a person who’s struggles with past trauma this book touched my heart! I have followed Athena and her story since watching her on the live Crossfit Open announcement in 2018. I was so proud of her when I watched and inspired to work harder. Well done Athena!"
- Hiddenstar
"This inspiring story is a wonderful read. The courage it took for her to tell her story is remarkable. So many lessons and words of inspiration in a time when many people struggle to get through the day. The lessons on self talk and interpersonal happiness are easy to relate to. Thank you for sharing your story."
- Trevor Henke
"This is written in such a way that I felt as if she were telling me in person. An amazing woman with an amazing life story that is still moving forward."
- Gary Moody
"I met Athena in 2018 at CFHQ ~ a humble and beautiful soul whose story can inspire all of us to "let go and let God", to love ourselves and embrace our true purpose."
- Amie O
