My kid loves audiobooks, and we saw this one, so we gave it a listen. We both absolutely loved it. It is inspiring to hear how others have overcome adversity in different aspects of their lives and persevered. My son was inspired and is now making and rushing his goals. I am so excited for his progress and determination. Thanks so much.

After losing a big game, I was in a total slump. I didn’t want to practice or even talk about it. Hearing these stories gave me the exact kick I needed. Every chapter felt like a reminder that setbacks don’t define me—they shape me. What stuck with me most were the lessons about discipline, character, and bouncing back. Now I see every failure as a rep in mental training. I’ve got this on repeat during workouts and before game days. It changed how I show up—not just on the field, but everywhere.
