Old School Grit: Times May Change, but the Rules for Success Never Do (Sports for the Soul, Book 2)

Bought for a friend

I have been a believer in the value of perseverance all of my life and have seen it pay dividends many times over during my military career as a Naval Academy midshipman and Naval Aviator for 20 years. This book is the best compilation of life lessons and values that everyone should embrace if they want to find true success and happiness in life. I can honestly say that I have experienced first hand the triumphs and failures described within and Darrin Donnelly’s words of wisdom are 100% true to life and a great recipe for achieving your personal best.Read this book, then make your kids read this book. I have already mailed my college-aged daughter her own personal copy with my highest recommendation to read it, absorb its’ content, and adjust her outlook so that she too can achieve her dreams!An easy to read and very valuable book for people of all ages!

The book serves as an instruction manual for getting back to the values that truly lead to success and developing the old school grit that can get us to achieve anything. Success is not achieved by finding ways to avoid mistakes or facing obstacles. Successful people are willing to keep moving forward without avoiding but overcoming life’s inevitable obstacles. Grit matters most in driving success and signifies willpower to persevere with passion and a sense of purposeA nice book which fills the reader’s mind with motivation, positivity, resilience while building confidence to overcome adversity and achieve goals in all spheres of life

A quick and easy up lifting read with several lessons relevant to all parts of life. A great mental pick you up!

Easy read on the surface but dig deeper. Makes you really think. Introspective and self enlightening. A must read! “Tweens” that are into sports can read this book and really get something out of it. Definitely recommend!

Love this book!
