Critic reviews

"Joan and Pat Summitt were what I call 'glass cutters' in building the Tennessee women's athletics program. They did not break the glass ceiling; they carefully carved their way through." ( Washington Post)

"Joan has the ability to bring out the best in people and provide them with the skills to be the best that they can be." (Robin Roberts, co-anchor, Good Morning America)

"Joan was a driving force in elevating the prominence and brand of Tennessee Lady Vol athletics through strategy, excellence, and priceless relationships." (Pat Summitt, legendary Lady Vols basketball coach)

uninteresting and laced with religious undertones

Im not sure what the point of this book was, but it wasn't very helpful to point out or explain how sports are related to life. the author spent most of the book speaking about herself or other stories at UT, and there were way too many religious related passages and tie ins. not worth the time to read it.
