I love Fury on Gladiators so I was very excited to read Jodie's book and to learn from her and how she has achieved her success.

I read Keep Smashing It with my 9 year old daughter who loves watching Gladiators. Jodie Ounsley, a deaf British rugby player and motivational speaker, brings her incredible journey to life in this book. Through her personal anecdotes and experiences, she offers valuable insights and practical advice on how to overcome challenges, build confidence, and stay resilient in the face of adversity.

The book is structured in a way that is both engaging and easy to follow, with each chapter focusing on different aspects of personal growth and empowerment. Jodie's writing is authentic and relatable, making it feel like you're having a conversation with a supportive friend who genuinely wants to see you succeed.

We liked how Jodie blended her personal story with actionable tips and strategies. She shares her struggles and triumphs with honesty and vulnerability, providing a realistic and inspiring perspective on what it takes to achieve your goals. Her advice is practical and down-to-earth, making it very accessible.

The book also touches on important themes such as self-acceptance, mental health, and the power of community and support networks. Jodie emphasizes the importance of staying true to yourself and finding strength in your unique qualities, which is a powerful message for anyone looking to boost their confidence and resilience.

Such a great book to inspire kids on advice and health positive and affirmative living in spirited by one of their favorite Gladiator stars! Full of tips & tricks
