Publisher's summary

A season at Marquette. A summer with Rick Majerus. An inspiring quest to stay connected to the game.

Small town. Undersized. Not enough talent. John Willkom heard it all as a young basketball player growing up in rural Wisconsin. Despite the odds, John dedicated his life to the game, an arduous journey that challenged the very core of even the most disciplined. As John's hard work lands him amongst basketball's elite, it is the workouts, the people, and the behind-the-scenes interactions that not only change his skill set but how he lives his life. Both heartfelt and funny, Walk-On Warrior takes you into the mind of an athlete from John's perspective. Take a journey that will reignite your passion for life, challenge your perspectives on toughness and fear, and ultimately, inspire you to maximize your talent.

Excellent read/listen!!

If you’re a big college basketball fan and root for underdogs this is a great story of dedication and passion. John Willkom strives to get better everyday and not just on a hoop court but in life. He gets and gives everything he can out of his abilities. Just an all around great story.

Amazing and inspiring

This is an amazing story of work ethic and resiliency. As a parent of a high school freshman, I see so many kids that could know this kind of success, but we live in culture of things are given , not worked and strived for. Amazing book about the benefits of hard work , faith and gratitude.
