About Swimming UPstream: My Journey From Adversity To
Product Description (B&W version) Let the IRONMAN Triathlon and Winter the Dolphin show you how to swim upstream and alter the trajectory of your life. No more small thinking. No more fear of taking the BIG step. No more comparing yourself to anyone else. Get to your BIG LIFE! This book was written for one specific purpose: to show you how to throw off the shackles of your past and find the BIG LIFE that lies waiting. After a career of inspiring millions with these two worldwide phenomena, two-time CEO David Yates recounts his experiences in the newly released book, Swimming UPstream. You will learn the power of overcoming, putting the small thinkers behind you, thinking big and setting yourself up for success on your life’s journey. Born to a severely schizophrenic mother, David suffered through a troubled childhood. As a young teen, David was on anti-psychotic medication with his life barreling toward disaster, fearing he would descend into a life of mental illness like his mother. With the help of a strong faith in God and key mentors in his life, David was able to climb his way out of darkness to lead a BIG LIFE, eventually reaching millions with life-changing hope, including Winter the Dolphin’s inspiring story. Through the narrative of David’s life story, you will see how you can turn your detours and valleys into real opportunities. David’s journey of faith will encourage you, make you laugh and have you yearning to find your own BIG LIFE. You’ll cry tears of happiness as you read the real life stories of the many children and wounded soldiers, some suicidal, which David worked with during his years as the CEO of the IRONMAN Triathlon company (IRONMAN Group) and then Clearwater Marine Aquarium where the Dolphin Tale movies were created and filmed. Swimming UPstream will embolden you to overcome your past and swim against the currents to lead your BIG LIFE, throwing off the shackles of your past via the narrative of Yates’ life. If you’re looking to get unstuck or want to shift to BIG thinking, Swimming UPstream was written just for you. You’ll experience lessons from overcoming individuals, with classic self-help techniques, grounded in relentless faith. This is your time … Review I met David when I was cast in Dolphin Tale at 12 years old. Now, ten years later, he's like my second dad. David doesn't sleep-every minute of every day is spent pouring into the lives of children and families inspired by the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, countless souls whose names and stories David knows by heart. David inspires me with his work ethic and sheer vision but does so in a way that makes me believe that same purpose lives inside of me. His ability to encourage me both deeply and disarmingly has set me straight countless times over the past decade. I only hope every single reader gets a chance to know David, but this book is without a doubt the next best thing. -- Cozi Zuehlsdorff, Dolphin Tale and Disney actor I have known David extremely well for over a decade, yet reading this book, I learned things about him and his journey that I never knew before, and I'm even prouder to call him my friend and mentor. Reading Swimming UPstream had me sobbing more times than I could count, and that's saying something for a woman who made her career crying on cue! This book, and David's willingness to share his heart, struggles, and overcoming triumphs, made me feel like I can take on the world! I know this book will help so many people and inspire those already living Big Lives to reach for even bigger dreams. It certainly caused me to dream even bigger than I already was. David uses this quote in the book, but I've always said that if David Yates wakes up in the morning and sees a mountain in his path, he thinks, No problem, I'll just move it. And that "can-do" attitude is what has allowed David to reach so many of his dreams. I can't wait to see the impact this book has on the world. Because if it's anything like the impact David has
