"After nearly being jailed at age seventeen and becoming a father at nineteen, Jeremiah Brown managed to grow up into a responsible young adult. Despite a promising banking career and a family, he felt that something was missing. A new goal captured his imagination: becoming an Olympian? Guided by a polarizing coach, Brown and his teammates plumbed the depths of physical and mental exertion in pursuit of a singular goal. The 4 Year Olympian is a story of courage, perseverance, and overcoming self-doubt, told from the perspective of an unlikely competitor who made it against the odds."--From publisher.
