Micha Powell is a Canadian Olympian, author of "Sprinting Through Setbacks" and motivational speaker who inspires audiences to embrace resilience and purpose. Her journey from the track to the stage empowers others to turn challenges into growth.

Sprinting Through Setbacks

Sprinting Through Setbacks: An Olympian’s Guide to Overcoming Self‑Doubt and Imposter Syndrome is Micha Powell’s memoir‑meets‑workbook for young athletes and dreamers navigating the messy, non‑linear path to success. Co‑authored with Strong Girl Publishing founder Molly Hurford, the book shares ten pivotal races from Micha’s decade as a professional sprinter, including growing up in the shadow of two Olympian parents, battling injury, and learning to trust her own voice.

Through honest storytelling and guided reflection exercises, Micha empowers readers to embrace resilience, build confidence, and chase their biggest goals with courage. Written while she continues to compete on the world stage, her message is simple: setbacks don’t stop you; they shape you.
