Unwaveringly, the athlete Malaika Mihambo has fought her way to the top, tenaciously and with an unwavering will to succeed. After winning two world championship titles and her Olympic victory in the long jump, she realizes that she has achieved all her goals and fulfilled all her sporting dreams. Not only that, she becomes aware of why she started competitive sports, lived solely for it, and subordinated everything to it. Each victory temporarily suspended the devaluation she had to endure repeatedly and restored the self-confidence she had lost due to a difficult childhood. To rekindle her passion for the sport, she took an unusual path: she traveled the world, engaged in social causes, discovered new thoughts through meditation, explored herself, and completely redefined her approach. Far beyond the narrow horizon of a stadium, Malaika Mihambo openly shares what truly matters to her in life and at the jumping pit. In "Spring Yourself Free," she shares the experiences that have shaped her and the insights she gained from them. Christoph Steinbach, Malaika's mentor from the Olympic training center Rhein-Neckar, who has supported her in her personal development for years, also provides exciting insights on mindfulness, resilience, and stress management. It is a moving and very personal book about self-discovery filled with many painful experiences.
