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.

Wow! There's so many incredible sports people out there. It really is inspiring to hear their stories - how they've overcome adversity, where they came from, and the dedication it takes to reach the top. Some of them I'd heard of before, others were new to me. But all of them are amazing in their own right and it makes me want to be better.

Amazing heroes!

My daughter’s on a co-ed team and sometimes feels overshadowed. This audiobook gave her a serious boost, she started talking more about her strengths instead of what she lacks. The way it shared different athletes' experiences made her feel seen. We even had a good talk about staying focused on what she can control.







solid boost for my daughter’s confidence
