This book's intended audience is older than what you would typically describe as "young gymnast" (i.e. 10-12yo). The reader must be familiar with Nadia's biography and have some interest in the not well published aspects of her life. I (an adult) find the book a little hard to read due to the language. The flow is not easy and engaging. There are parts that are definitely worth the attention of the aspiring gymnasts, but you have to dig for them. Also, in many cases she would say things like "It may be for some gymnasts, but that was not how it worked for me". You would expect a little more mentoring attitude from a book that was written in the "art of mentoring" series, wouldn't you?
