Book Description
Valerie Worthington had all the trappings of successful life-a doctorate from a respectable school, a powerful career trajectory, a condo in Chicago-but it felt hollow. She was hitting all the right notes yet couldn't escape the sinking feeling that something was, very, very wrong. After her instructor passed away, she faced the truth: the life she had built was not the life meant for her. Training Wheels follows Worthington's unlikely odyssey. After quitting her job and selling her condo, she drives around the country to chase the only passion that ever really made sense to her: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. At the time of Worthington's adventure, jiu-jitsu road trips were rare and female practitioners were rarer still. As her story unfolds, every new gym she steps into uncovers more of her inner-self and reveals more about the jiu-jitsu community as a whole-the good parts as well as the nefarious. Worthington's tale is both a story of self-discovery and a unique insight into jiu-jitsu culture. Her one of a kind adventure is engaging, inspiring, and entertaining, a must-read for anyone passionate about living life to the fullest and taking the road less traveled.
