ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Wade Wilson has a passion for pursuing his dreams and interests, some of which he has talents for and some not so much. He loves to challenge himself, and the bigger the dream the better. His goal is when God calls him home that he will have nothing left on his bucket list that he is healthy enough to pursue.

 

Wade’s other interests include studying and teaching God’s word, playing and performing classical guitar music, and traveling with his wife. He has provided motivational and inspirational speeches on his experiences in the sport of triathlon and of having the opportunity to compete on a world stage at the age of forty-six.

Authoring this book was a huge challenge and required all the skills and lessons previously learned about setting and pursuing lofty goals.

Dare to Dream Scary Fast: The Road to Kona by Wade Wilson is an inspiring memoir about Wilson’s journey from being an improbable athlete to competing in the Ironman Triathlon World Championship race in Kona, Hawaii when he was 46 years old.

Wilson’s adventure with triathlons began at age 39. Dare to Dream covers his six years of training while also being a family man, handling setbacks, and balancing his job along with all his commitments. In his work, Wilson emphasizes the power of steady effort and commitment, and showing passion and resilience. Dare to Dream also shows its reader that with support from a strong team, it can surely help anyone succeed in their goals.

I found Dare to Dream to be incredibly positive and inspirational. There are so many times where we don’t do what we want for fear of failing. In this work, Wilson shows us that the greatness we seek dones’t have to come from remarkable talent, but from the desire and willpower to get it done.

This book is would be perfect for lovers of non fiction, but especially of uplifting memoirs.
