Frame of mind, Graeme Dott

Título: Frame of Mind Autor: Graeme Dott Género: Biografía Editorial: John Blake Número de páginas: 256 Puntuación: 3/5 Sinopsis (En Inglés) When Graeme Dott won the world snooker Championship in 2006 it should have been the highlight of his career. It was what he had worked for all his life, but Alex Lambie, his mentor and father in-law, had cancer and only had months to live. Alex died at the end of 2006 and, incredibily, Dott's snooker went from strength to strenght. Away from the table, his life was falling apart. He didn't know it, but he was suffering from severe depression. Just when he thought things coudn't get any worse, his wife Elaine suffered a cancer scare.

Un día haciendo zapping en televisión, siempre cuento esta historia con gran orgullo, me encontré a unos tipos muy singulares jugando a un deporte que me pareció aún más singular. Soy una persona curiosa así que decidir dejarlo puesto un rato e indagar que era. Era curling y estaba jugando Noruega, el equipo de Thomas Ulsrud, con sus famosos pantalones de cuadros. Me enamoré de deporte y equipo por igual y el resto es historia. Una historia que tiene momentos muy felices como el título mundial logrado en Beijing en 2014 y otros muy tristes como la eliminación en el tie breaker en los Juegos Olímpicos de Sochi 2014. Precisamente durante los Juegos Olímpicos de Sochi conocí a un grupo de amigos maravillosos con los que comentar las competiciones de curling y hoy en día nos seguimos encontrado todos en los chats de youtube o en nuestro grupo de Facebook. En verdad debería decir casi todos... mi amiga Pauline, mi mejo...
