Customer Reviews

Excellent book -- not just for athletes.

In this book, outstanding athletes share their words of wisdom. I like the fact that Lorne Adrain gives a synopsis of each athlete's background. Therefore, the book is educational and inspirational at the same time. I gave this book to my brother for his birthday --- He doesn't like to read but read every word of this book. Great gift.

Nice Complement To Adrain's First Book

I liked Lorne Adrain's first book ("The Most Important Thing I Know") and am very glad to see this new addition! It's great! The quotes from some of the best known (and some lesser known) sports heroes are compelling!

Fantastic Customer Gift

We have used Adrain's other book (The Most Important Thing I Know) as a gift for customers attending a technical presentation that our company gave. This book looks to be another opportunity -- and very inexpensive (comparitively).

Excellent Motivational Book !!!

Another great book of very motivational quotes from well known sports legends and heros.

A great inspirational book - even if you are not a athlete

A very cool book - love Collen Howe/Mrs. Hockey's "Turtle Theory"- Be hard on the outside and soft on the inside and willing to stick out your neck to get ahead.
