King of Slalomia

FABIEN LEFEVRE is the most accomplished cross discipline slalom paddler of all time, having won the World Championships in both kayak single(K1) and canoe single(C1), as well as winning a World silver medal in canoe double(C2), and a medal in the Olympic Games in 2004 (bronze) and 2008 (silver). In this book, renowned slalom author and coach Bill Endicott crowns the remarkable Lefèvre "The King of Slalomia", and engages the mercurial, inspirational Fabien in a lively dialogue about his life in slalom racing. Endicott and Lefèvre touch on many aspects of the elite athlete's unyielding drive for excellence-everything from focus, to authenticity, to faith-and explore Fabien's startling decision to leave France with his young family to start a new life in America, racing for the USA.
