A review by mel_baldock
Over the Boards: Lessons from the Ice (Signed Edition) by Hayley Wickenheiser

hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective medium-paced

3.0

I LOVE Hayley Wickenheiser but I unfortunately found this book fell short of my expectations (although this may be my own fault). I found the book to be very slow and a bit choppy. I wish the book contained more details into her full story and background leading up to where she is now but I found it was very vague in this respect. It is inspirational but the lessons are brief with quick examples and reflections on her experiences. The book outlines her astounding work ethic and drive to succeed which was interesting. Overall, I enjoyed it but did find certain parts difficult to get through as it felt a bit impersonal. I still find Hayley to be an incredible inspiration and an amazing role model.
