A very short, but interesting book. Out of all Olympians how does a person choose just a few to include in such a book? Most of us already know the stories of people like Michael Phelps, Katerina Witt, Jim Thorpe, Jesse Owens, Apolo Ohno, but these tales are not about such people. This book tells of a few athletes that may only be well known by those who follow a particular sport, but have definitely displayed what it means to follow the Olympic ideals on and off the field.The book is very short.After reading it, if you pay more attention to the sportsmanship that is displayed at the Olympics by all of the athletes, not just those who make the final podium, that would be very nice, but if you took the ideals shown in this very small book and put them into practice in your life, the world might be just a little bit better, too.
