What a great fable to tie leadership into-- the author did a superb job detailing the phases needed to exemplify leadership. I enjoy football and leadership so the book hit home. 5 stars and we can apply the rules today.

[AJ Bianco · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the message that was part of this book. Quick read but quite enjoyable. Really appreciated the 4 major themes that were represented in the story and then again shared in detail. Good lessons for leaders and aspiring leaders of any kind.

I wouldn't say it was compelling but it was a good success story. More about re-gaining self confidence, and awareness of others.
