best athlete blog – Kyle Shewfelt

I track many personal athlete blogs, rarely linking to them on this site. Many, especially the NCAA gymnast blogs, are little more than rah rah promotional tools.

Only one athlete blog is consistently interesting. Even fascinating.

That’s Kyle Shewfelt, reigning Olympic champion on Floor. (I may be biased since I edit his official website. You need to check for yourself.)

As a sample, here’s Kyle’s feature on his “Guardian Angel”, his physiotherapist, Susan Massitti, someone who has been there for him throughout his recovery from injury at World’s last year:

Guardian Angel – Kyle Shewfelt

Browse down the list of posts from the home page. You’ll see the highs and lows of an elite athlete in “rehab”. Honest and compelling.

Thanks Kyle.
