Summary: How to really Succeed
Review: The book appears to be geared to the Middle School High School athlete. Don't be fooled!, Mr. McDaniels is actually giving very good advice for everyone on how to not be taken advantage of and how to succeed in spite of what life hands you. He shows how just about anyone can succeed, IF they put their minds to it. He uses his own life and stories from his and others successes as easy to understand examples for the reader. He shows how the only thing that is holding us back is ourselves and that we cannot blame anyone else for our own lack of initative or lack of planning.

An excellent book for everyone for everyone to read and practice, and he shows that it is possible for any one to succeed, if they want to and won't take no for an answer.
