Bol A stranger in a WeWork kitchen once told Courtney Spencer she had "the perfect body type for Skeleton." She didn't even know what the sport was. Days later, she Googled it: an Olympic event where athletes race face-first down a sheet of ice at 80+ miles an hour, with no brakes. She signed up for a combine anyway.She finished dead last.Embrace the Hit follows what happened next - not a straight line to glory, but a slow, honest reckoning with failure, fear, and the phrase her coach repeated on every run: embrace the hit. Don't brace. Don't fight the wall. Relax into the impact, and let it carry you somewhere better than where you were aiming.It's a lesson Courtney was learning on the ice long before she understood it was also a lesson about grace. Around the same time she was training in Park City and Lake Placid, she was also encountering the Book of Mormon for the first time - and the two journeys became impossible to separate. This is a memoir about what it actually feels like to be baptized as an adult with no religious background, to fail publicly and keep showing up anyway, and to discover that the hits life sends aren't obstacles to your story - they're the shape of it.Written for anyone bracing against something right now - a setback, a diagnosis, a failure, a fear - Embrace the Hit is an invitation to stop fighting the wall and trust that God is still building something, even at 80 miles an hour.
