Educational for Middle School/Early High School

This book essentially lays out strong habits for a young athlete in a easy-to-understand way. It's great because it's coming from the world-class stars, making the kids more prone to listen and adopt what they are preaching. 10/10 recommend for a kid out there who aspires to be great in their craft.

Far short of expectations.

This book could have been so much more. Instead, he just regurgitates facts about an athlete that overcame obstacles. Painful. Don’t pick up if you’re looking for insight into competitive athletes.

Love it!

Great book for youngsters who are looking for ways to improve their lifestyle and become the best version of themselves.

Wonderful Listen!

Listened to this with my 12-year-old son who plays baseball, basketball, and football. After just the first chapter, he was running around the house and screaming his colossal sports goals. Really impactful project that provides first-hand advice for kids to maximize their potential.

Motivational and Educational Listen

Not only is this a motivational listen, but its a great way to learn about the history of a bunch of different sports and some of the biggest names in their fields. Great for teens who are looking to grow, both from a educational and physical perspective.
