Historia
In the 1980s, Neil Hornsby was one of very few National Football League fans in England. Never one to do anything casually, he began keeping hand-written score sheets of every game using his own tracking system. Soon he'd enlisted some fellow British super fans in his mission to take football information an extra layer deeper. This was the beginning of Pro Football Focus, an analytics company that now supplies data to all 32 NFL teams and every major broadcasting corporation. In Football Is a Numbers Game, Matthew Coller chronicles this improbable start-up tale with unprecedented access.

Great to listen about how PFF came to be. Lots of great info about analytics in football. Interesting to learn more about Cris Collinsworth's business savvy. Solid insight about effective business policies in growing companies. I highly recommend this for any NFL fans as well as entrepreneurs.

Overrated
Revisado: 06-28-23
There are a few decent pointers in the book. There are also several meandering stories that are more like filler than meaningful content.
There are times where the author alienates readers who aren’t middle aged white guys - like when he lists songs at the appropriate bpm for running and repeatedly references groups that many people who aren’t old white dudes don’t listen to.
He bashes people like David Goggins who doesn’t fit in with his view of what distance runners should act like.
I lack the stamina to finish the book. There are plenty better resources to use to improve my stamina on the trails.

A book of mediocre stories with a robotic reader
Revisado: 06-20-23
There are some decent tidbits of information. To learn sales techniques, read better books by Chris Voss & Jordan Belfort. To learn storytelling, take a class at your local college.
The reader sounds like he’s a voice designed by Apple. Emotionless. Slow & overly enunciated. No personality whatsoever.

Great Insight
Revisado: 06-11-23
Scout Speak is a deep dive into the process and lives of NFL scouts. I learned a ton about how they evaluate talent and the politics involved.
The reading performance is not good. The reader lacks understanding of football. Example: when a player is written as “LB Ray Lewis” or “TE Travis Kelce,” instead of saying “linebacker” or “tight end,” he says the letters. When he reads quotes, he sounds robotic even though the speaker’s words are often relaxed and conversational.
Overall, I loved the book for the words as they were written.

Historia
Can’t Hurt Me, David Goggins’ smash hit memoir, demonstrated how much untapped ability we all have but was merely an introduction to the power of the mind. In Never Finished, Goggins takes you inside his Mental Lab, where he developed the philosophy, psychology, and strategies that enabled him to learn that what he thought was his limit was only his beginning and that the quest for greatness is unending.

Sequel even better than the first book
Revisado: 06-01-23
I love how real Goggins’ books are. The narrator is real. No fake voice BS. Just a real dude reading a book by his homie.
The podcast interview sections are outstanding. They bring an already vivid book even MORE into life. Great conversations with real emotion and some hilarious gut busting laughter.
There is inspiration for everyone in this book. Literally everyone. There are stories that every single person can relate to. We all face adversity. Goggins shares story after story about how he, his mom and several others overcame various examples of small to extreme adversity.
Goggins is a leader in showing ways to go deeper into our best selves. This book is service to the reader. Get it now and continue your mission with even more purpose. Stay hard.

Mediocre Lessons
Revisado: 05-16-23
I made it about 3/4 thru the book. Never was inspired by his bland stories. Ultimately stopped after he advised sales people to ignore “no soliciting” signs. That advice came right after a story where he mentioned arguing with someone who eventually called the cops on him and only regretting the money lost when the complainer told his neighbors to cancel their sales.
To learn how to talk to effectively talk to people, read “Never Split the Difference” by Chris Voss instead. It’s good for sales, negotiations, getting upgraded service and more.
Door-to-Door Millionaire is better left ignored.

Historia
In this new edition of The TB12 Method, Tom Brady further explains and details the revolutionary training, conditioning, and wellness system that has kept him atop the NFL at an age when most players are deep into retirement. Brady - along with the expert Body Coaches at TB12, the performance lifestyle brand he cofounded in 2013 with Alex Guerrero - explain the principles and philosophies of pliability, a paradigm-shifting fitness concept that focuses on a more natural, healthier way of exercising, training, and living.

Good Info on Brady’s Health & Life Choices
Revisado: 07-09-22
Brady reading the first couple chapters was good. However, I did not like the narrator who did most of the book. He lacked charisma & read like a robot.
The book is quite informative on TB’s approach to healthy living. When he describes various exercises, it’s helpful to follow along with the PDF.
The content was quite informative. Great tips on physical & brain exercises as well as nutrition. Yet I kept wondering why he appears in Subway commercials yet consistently advises people not to eat white bread, processed foods and fast foods. As much as he promotes his TB Method & products in the book, his overall message would resonate even more deeply if he didn’t profit from what he advises against.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and learned a lot. There is something in it for anyone who wants to improve their physical quality of life.

Historia
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

I loved Goggins’ book start to finish. Skolnick is a solid reader and Goggins’ stories are riveting. I also liked the interview segments throughout the book between Skolnick and Goggins.
Great humor throughout. Goggins offers examples from his life that are helpful for anyone who wants to improve themselves and expand on their capabilities. A truly special book.

Here is THE book recounting the life and times of one of the most respected men in the world, Warren Buffett.

The result is the personally revealing and complete biography of the man known everywhere as "The Oracle of Omaha."

Lots of great info, too many insignificant details
Revisado: 05-15-22
Great job the narrator. Particular faves included the way she changed her cadence when reading words spoken by Rev. Jesse Jackson as well as her tone when she spoke the words of Charlie Munger.
The book is well written with an incredible amount of information about how Warren Buffett and his family have experienced life. At times, there are far too many insignificant details about what random people looked like and trivial comments made by them.
The book is an ultramarathon. It’s worth the effort to finish it.
