"Raising the Bar" gets a gold medal: GL goes behind the scenes with Gabrielle Douglas

 
Gabrielle Douglas amazed us in the 2012 Olympics, taking home two gold medals. She then went on to share her story in Grace, Gold & Glory: My Leap of Faith (check it out here). Now, our favorite gymnast-turned-author is back to share more behind-the-scenes details of her incredible life in Raising the Bar.

Jumping to new heights
In her second book, Gabrielle shares an inside look at her day-to-day world. Although her life has changed dramatically, there are many things that still remain important to her—time with her friends and family, her favorite comfort foods and her training routine.

Gabrielle also shares some of the new experiences she’s gained in the spotlight—like what it’s like to suddenly walk the red carpet as a star. Plus, she offers tips on how you can raise the bar on your own life to accomplish your wildest dreams.

“I don’t think dreams magically appear, that’s why they’re called dreams. But if you do want to make that dream a reality, then you have to push yourself,” says Gabrielle. “If you have a big dream, it takes all of the above to achieve it: passion, focus and effort. That’s definitely my advice.” Have another question for Gabrielle? CLICK HERE to check out our live chat with her tonight!
