In his captivating book, Australia's Toughest Sports People, Bruce Leonard pays homage to the indomitable spirit of Australian athletes. Through stunning photography and compelling stories, Leonard showcases the resilience, determination, and triumphs of these extraordinary individuals, offering a glimpse into the heart and soul of Australian sports.

Leonard's subjects are a diverse group, representing a wide range of sports, from the well-known to the more obscure. There's surfer Layne Beachley, who has won seven world titles; AFL legend Kevin Sheedy, who coached the Essendon Bombers to four premierships; and wheelchair basketball star Kurt Fearnley, who has won three Paralympic gold medals. Each of these athletes has faced unique challenges, both on and off the field, but they have all emerged as symbols of strength and perseverance.
