Very informative

Super cooles Buch! Beschriebene Situationen auf dem Feld oft auf Youtube anzugucken!

I cant recall reading a better sporting autobiography than this. It is really outstanding and takes the reader into the heart of what it takes to become a super star in this most demanding of sports. Like so many others I was amazed when Sam was given the captaincy of the Lions so young when two outstanding ex Lion captains, the Irishmen Brian O'Driscoll and Paul O'Connell were still available and far more experienced. This book shows why he was chosen and also shows what a superb student of men is Warren Gatland, the outstanding coach who gave him so much responsibilty. Much can be gained by mere mortals by reading this book and applying its principles to our own mundane lives and the achievement of our own, usually less astronomical aims. A refreshing change from many sporting life stories, which all too often are much of a muchness and rather bland. This is, like Sam Warburton, rather special. I look forward to his coach Gatland's anticipated autobiography and if it is half as good as this one it will be well worth waiting for. A book to savour and learn from for it has useful lessons and examples which can apply to us all who wish to achieve, in all walks of life.

As a Welsh rugby fanatic, I loved the book, particularly the passion and insights from inside the Welsh /B&I Lions camps.More importantly though, Sam gives insight into the pressures and tolls on both physical and mental health of sport at the highest level. Any lover of the game would, I’m sure, be concerned with the physical impact that the game had on someone who was otherwise extremely fit and healthy.

A very well written book by an exceptional player and a reluctant captain of Wales and the Lions.Would recommend to anyone who wants to excel in sport or just life!Thanks for the book and the memories.
