All her life, Spensa has dreamed of becoming a pilot. Of proving she's a hero like her father. She made it to the sky, but the truths she learned about her father were crushing. The rumors of his cowardice are true - he deserted his flight during battle against the Krell. Worse, though, he turned against his team and attacked them.

Amazing book. Worth the read.
Revisado: 01-09-22
Brandon Sanderson is an amazing author. I own every one of his books on Audible and in hard cover. You don't need this review unless you haven't read one of his books yet. Because once you read one, you'll be saying the same things I am saying here.

Growing up in a single parent home with a father that inspired perseverance and fairness, Marques Ogden learned how to define his values and set goals. Ogden attended Howard University from 1998-2002, where he played Division I football. He followed his dream and his brother Jonathan's footsteps, eventually getting drafted into the NFL in 2003. Overall, he played for five years as an offensive lineman with the Titans, Bills, Ravens and Jaguars. Even during the off season, Ogden helped train football players in Europe, both physically and mentally. At the age of 27, he founded a construction company called Kayden Premier Enterprises, a business that grew rapidly in its first few years, but Ogden and the business eventually went bankrupt, after Ogden loss almost two million dollars on one project in a time period just under 90 days. At his darkest point, the NFL came in and helped Ogden restructure his life. With hard work and determination, he became a motivational speaker and marketing leader, helping to build others up to succeed. Through it all, Ogden dealt with his own personal demons of drinking and gambling to make it regardless of obstacles that were in his path!

Revisado: 05-11-17
I've been lucky enough to get to see Marques Ogden teach in a seminar. I bought this book immediately after finding out that he'd written it, and that it was on Audible. I finished it that same day. There is so much to take away from his story. I admire that he was able to be open and honest about his life. I also am appalled at those who tried (successfully or not) to take advantage of him due to his NFL status. As a fellow entrepreneur, I have learned a lot from both this book, and hearing him tell his stories in person. I recommend this book 100% to anyone who is curious about what it feels like to transition from professional sports, to regular life.

Here is an explosive book that takes us, for the first time, deep inside a shadowy, fascinating, and surreal world of unscrupulous doctors, anything-goes team directors, and athletes so relentlessly driven to succeed that they would do anything—and take any risk, physical, mental, or moral—to gain the edge they needed to win. The Secret Race is a riveting, courageous act of witness from a man who is as determined to reveal the hard truth about his sport as he once was to win the Tour de France.

I enjoyed it. It had a lot of great info in it!
Revisado: 01-15-13
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I have told many friends to read it. It was full of great info on the races that Hamilton raced in, and how the doping was implemented by most professional racers.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Secret Race?
When I found out that Lance Armstrong actually reported Tyler Hamilton for beating him in a race, when they were BOTH doping, not just Hamilton!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both.

In September 1998, Michael J. Fox stunned the world by announcing he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease: a degenerative neurological condition. In fact, he had been secretly fighting it for seven years. The worldwide response was staggering. Fortunately, he had accepted the diagnosis and by the time the public started grieving for him, he had stopped grieving for himself.

An incredible but true account of achieving one of the most awe-inspiring midlife physical transformations ever. In October 2006, the night before he was to turn 40, Rich experienced a chilling glimpse of his future. Nearly 50 pounds overweight and unable to climb the stairs without stopping, he saw where his sedentary lifestyle was taking him. Most of us look the other way when granted such a moment of clarity, but not Rich.

Best book I've ever read. Changed my life!
Revisado: 06-25-12
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I've recommended it to just about everyone I work with, as well as my entire family, and all my friends. I even bought a copy for the impressive library of my CEO.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Rich is the best, but he's also surrounded by amazing athletes, so it's a close one.
Have you listened to any of Rich Roll’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the only one I've heard. He is perfect, because it's HIS story. I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much if it were read by anyone else!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did. I listened to it in less than 3 days. I will listen to it again soon!
Any additional comments?
Keep up the great work, and I hope there is a 2nd book! I'm now training seriously for my first tri. Something I thought before that I could never do. Now it's a goal I have in sight, and I'm doing it.
