I chose this book for several reasons; I wanted to know the heart, experiences, and drive that lead Jerry Rice's life, since I didn't know much detail about what made Jerry Rice, Jerry Rice, in my opinion, one of the best wide receivers to ever play the game of football. I also saw the book at the library and knew I wouldn't have to pay for it. (frugal man)
So all in all, I did learn most of the above. Jerry was pushed by himself (drive from the inside), grew up in a large family, married early, and really just worked his tail off. One of my favorite quotes from the book is:
"Taking a risk means you are putting something on the line-your security or comfort zone, your reputation, your life-but it also means you have something wonderful to gain."
Would I suggest this book to others? Umm... only if you want to learn a little more depth of the number one receiver to ever play the game. But from a motivational standpoint, it didn't really stand out too much of a must have.
