Love, Life, & Legacy
Author: Akeem Haynes
Akeem is a 100m sprinter who competes for Canada and trains at the World Athletics Center in Phoenix, AZ, USA. Prior to training as a professional, Akeem was a junior college standout at Barton County Community College before moving to the University of Alabama where he earned All-America honors. Haynes qualified as a member of Canada’s 4x100m relay team at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.
It has been a pleasure working with and getting to know Akeem over the last 9 months. He is a young man wise beyond his years who has experienced many ups and downs through life. His book is a telling story of his journey to this point and all he has gathered from his experiences.
Love, Life, & Legacy is a quick read that serves as an excellent guide to leading a positive and successful life. As a reader you are given a glimpse into topics such as separating yourself, insecurities, staying true to yourself, and being comfortable in your own skin as seen through the eyes of an extremely intuitive, selfless man.
Love, Life, & Legacy is Akeem’s first foray into authorship. He is currently working on his second book, with an expected release date to follow the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, a year in which I envision much success for Akeem, both on the track and in his writing. I am fortunate to witness the hard work and dedication that drives Akeem on a daily basis and am fully aware that he will settle for nothing less than his absolute best.
Here is the link to the book on Amazon if you are looking for a light and uplifting read that is sure to motivate its readers to “push themselves past their normal boundaries”.
