Embers of Confidence: How I Trained Three Female Smokejumpers (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798988336402)

Are you ready to learn what it takes to become a smokejumper?

Smokejumpers are elite wildland firefighters who parachute into the remote backcountry of the United States and Canada to stop forest fires from spreading.

Meet Heidi, Sierra, and Cam, three determined female wildland firefighters on an extraordinary quest to become smokejumpers. Experienced strength coach and first-time author, Fritz Nugent, tells the story of how he prepared them to survive the rigors of rookie training-one of the most physically demanding and male-dominated professions on the planet (97% male).

Embers of Confidence is a slow-burning ride of emotionally fraught excitement, unveiling scalpel-detailed training, and surprisingly humorous moments that will leave you laughing out loud. The women faced grueling challenges-each with their own unique physical and mental limits that were pushed to the brink. As their journeys unfold toward rare and impressive feats, you'll be inspired to embrace your own personal and professional challenges, seeking profound meaning in your own life.

Immerse yourself in their triumphs and tribulations and ignite your passion for adventure and personal growth-especially in a time when the world needs you to soar higher than ever before.
