Riewoldt was a number 1 AFL draft pick in 2000 who matched the high expectations a top draft pick has throughout a distinguished career. He was a six-time winner of St Kilda's best and fairest award, and five-time All Australian, and St Kilda club captain for a record 220 games, with more than 330 AFL games overall. A thoughtful and intelligent player Riewoldt's autobiography is more than the usual recount of all his career highlights and challenges in a year to year format. The title, 'The Things That Make Us, provides a clue to the focus of this book. Riewoldt lost a sibling, his sister Madison, at a young age to illness and part of the book deals with this trauma and the impact of grief. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
From No. 1 pick in the 2000 AFL draft, to six-time winner of St Kilda's best and fairest award, to five-time All Australian, to captaining his club for a record 220 games, to more than 330 games as a star of the AFL, Nick Riewoldt is an out-and-out champion. The Things that Make Us is Nick's autobiography, written with a deep intelligence and insight, and giving a fascinating perspective on his extraordinary life and career. As Nick describes it: 'I hope there's something in these pages for everyone who's known grief, especially anyone who's lost a sibling. I hope, too, that my story brings a deeper understanding of a footballer's crazy world. An insight into what goes into making it, what it takes to stay there, and the crippling anxiety that can consume you when your burden is to accept only the best. I hope it paints a picture of what it's like to be the focus of acclamation and scandal, the good and bad of a searing spotlight, and how these experiences can bring out the best and worst in us. 'I hope it honours my family - the German and Tasmanian sides with their stories of struggle and endurance - who are the essence of the book's title. I hope it gives thanks for the love I found on the other side of the world, and the beautiful next generation Cath and I are building together. 'I hope above all that it honours my sister Maddie. 'These are the things that made me. 'The Things That Make Us is the intimate, powerful and revealing account of the life of an AFL superstar, and a classic in the making.
