Champions Are Made In The Dark

Champions Are Made in the Dark is the story of a high-performance athlete shaped as much by what happened away from sport as by what happened within it. From reading the weather in a house before she could read a book, Tui Katene learned early how to survive uncertainty. Those beginnings could have defined her. Instead, they built a determination to keep moving forward, challenge what was possible, and become more than where she started. That determination would take her on an extraordinary sporting journey, representing New Zealand across four sporting codes and becoming a World Champion. But the journey was never a straight line. Through failure, loss, setbacks and moments of doubt, Champions Are Made in the Dark is an inspiring memoir about resilience, courage, belief and the determination to keep going — because where you start doesn’t decide where you finish.
