The interviews were good, but the in between parts seemed kind of forced. Overall, I got some good takeaways from it.

Decent content from the interviews but the supplementary content after each interview is a bit cheesy and contrived.

January, Embracing The Grind, Justin Goldman
The main characters in the book are very detailed in, Embracing The Grind. The main characters consist of Justin Goldwin and 11 former NHL goalies. Justin Goldman is a man who interviews NHL goalies and asks them how they ended up in the NHL and how hard it was. He interviews people like Pekka Rinne, Johnathan Quick and other major NHL goalie. He asks them specific details of when they were kids and how hard it was mentally and physically to be a hockey goalie.
The theme of this book is very special to me. I explains the struggle of a hockey goalie or just every day things. I explains how things can definitely difficult but the more difficult things become, the better the outcome. It also explains how even though things in life drag you down, if you power through, the outcome is always greater than expected. In summary, the theme of this book is to always persevere and never give up. That is why this theme is so special to me.
