I really enjoyed this book and listening to it really gave me the feeling of being in a conference listening to Trent speak. I felt encouraged throughout the whole book and on the edge of my seat trying to hear about where his story would lead him. I’m looking forward to listening again and taking notes next time. I definitely know this book is going to help me overcome some of the fears I know that are in the way of me reaching my greatest next chapters.

I like Trent. I’ve been a follower for a long time and I wanted to love this book. Maybe this is just a personal problem but I just felt like the language was so simple. I was looking for deep and I was unfortunately disappointed. One thing that got under my skin too was his constant explaining how football wasn’t his purpose because “I was going to contribute much more to the world doing this than I would ever contribute playing football. After all, besides providing a temporary thrill to fans after I made a big gain or scored a touchdown, football was really all about me” (34). I get it. I get that he’s trying to explain that HIS purpose was not football but there’s many football players that are creating real change and using their platform to positively contribute to society. They aren’t all just a “temporary thrill.” I don’t know. Just the constant hammering of this point made it seem like he’s better than the football player. I’m sure that was not his point but it rubbed me the wrong way. All in all there are some good points in here. Nothing unique and not the best language but I did found myself writing down a few nuggets I wanted to remember.

Trent Shelton is an absolutely phenomenal motivational and inspirational speaker .... and just all around good person. I really enjoyed learning more about his background and how he got to where he is today.

I have to say I found myself highlighting bits and pieces throughout the entire book, but at the very end, in chapter 10, it all comes full circle. I highlighted just about every single line in that chapter.

The only thing that could have made this experience better would have been listening to the audio version, because Trent himself narrates it. And there’s something about the way he speaks that would have an even greater impact than just reading the words.

I tell everybody I know about Trent, regardless of what they are going through. Now I have one more thing to brag about when I talk about how wonderful he is!
