| Plot Summary of Feel No Fear |
|---|
"In Feel No Fear Bela Karolyi tells us about creating a gymnastics craze in communist Rumania, defecting to the United States, adapting to US culture and language, becoming a citizen, and coaching champions at his ranch in Houston, TX. Along with this he gives us a touch of humor while telling us the discipline and philosophy that has allowed him to train gymnastics champions for 40 years, on 2 continents."
