About this listen

"Kat is a warrior, both on the track and off it. This book is a stunning testimony to the power of believing in yourself" - SIR CHRIS HOY

"An extraordinary story of resilience and determination, from an incredible athlete" - DAME JESSICA ENNIS-HILL

The inspirational and powerful memoir from double world heptathlon champion and Team GB Olympian Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

The audiobook is read by Melissa Vaughan and features Katarina Johnson-Thompson reading her Prologue and Letters.


Katarina Johnson-Thompson has never had it easy. Born a child of two worlds - her mum’s working-class Liverpool, and her dad’s idyllic Bahamas - she was never supposed to be a world champion. Her early childhood wasn’t easy. She was raised by a single mother, and at times it was a struggle for her to keep up with other athletes who had more funding around them. But she persevered.

Now, in her intimate, heartfelt autobiography, she tells her story as she never has before. She opens up about the pressures of representing Britain at the London Olympics while just sixteen years of age, and about her complex relationship with mentor-turned-rival Jessica Ennis-Hill. Unbroken is a rare insight into the inner workings of a champion's mind: the rigorous discipline, the undying passion for sport, and the unshakable belief in one's self despite the odds.

Johnson-Thompson’s journey has been a remarkable one. Her upbringing and her career, both rich with challenges overcome and dreams pursued with relentless determination, serve as a powerful reminder that the human spirit is capable of extraordinary feats. But this is more than a story of triumph-against-the-odds. It’s a testament to the sweat, tears and laughter that pave the road to success, and to the unyielding spirit of a true champion.

"Katarina's determination is incredible. She is a true champion" SIR MO FARAH

"A shining example of someone who has succeeded against the odds" JOHN BISHOP


"Kat is one of the strongest women I know; this book is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when you believe in yourself" ALEX SCOTT

"One of the most inspiring women I have met. This book is a brilliant insight into what it takes to become a champion" GABBY LOGAN

Loved this book, loved the story, and it was read well but I always think it's a copout when autobiography isn't read by the person who wrote it! A great insight into a sporting life, and I made laughable comparison to my own life, being born in the same year. She was hurdling, I was playing Sims on the living room computer 😆

Interesting, brave and inspiring

Loved the openness and honesty - one of the best autobiographies I’ve read on someone I was lucky enough to see in action in the 2012 olympics and also win at Commonwealth games- has worked hard to achieve her dreams that are thoroughly deserved. Great read Thank you

Such a crazy journey KJT has shared and in so much detail. So interesting to hear what was going on in the background surrounding the performances we all watched on TV. Truely an outstanding woman and so deserving of her successes. I will always watch her performances with a greater insight having read the book.
