this book was about sports and religion, two things i’m not really interested in. it felt like it was forcing religion on you in a weird way. not a fan.
This book was highly recommended and seemed promising, I’m thankful it was only 3 hours because it was a complete waste of my time.
The story telling narrative was pleasant and gave a good foundation. The plot meandered as Martin progresses through the “lessons”. The lessons themselves are good but it doesn’t show how Martin implements them - he was just accepts and immediately changes? The book then takes a Christian turn and a good chunk is spent on having faith in God and giving up fear. Also throw in a few references to eastern medicine but leave them half baked. Overall, a weird hodgepodge of concepts and no advice on implementing them.

Did not appreciate the religious preaching
Jon Gordon is definitely hit or miss. I hope I still have some hits left...because, unfortunately, this book misses the mark. Like his book, The Seed, this book is corny and filled with cliches and platitudes.
Work hard, be positive, focus on what’s important, overcome your fears, be a better person, and lead others. There, now you don’t have to read the book. Just imagine those principles within a corny story.
Spoiler: here are some of the great lines from this book....”The best are mentally strong” and “Seize the moment.”
