Olympic champion Sally Pearson has shown throughout her remarkable career that competitiveness and passion are hardwired into her very being. Not since Cathy Freeman in the Sydney Olympics have Australians been so excited by the international success of a sportswoman. Sally's triumphs on the athletics field - a gruelling test of concentration, technique, speed and endurance - are a tribute to her indomitable will. Believe is the inspiring story of her journey to the top of her field and her path to recognition by her peers as the best in the world.
From humble beginnings, to being considered the fastest female hurdler in the world, Sally Pearson's honest pursuit of excellence and her refusal to allow any obstacle to stand in her way has lead her to become a world champion and hugely loved athlete.
