Summary: ONE BOOK YOU CAN'T HELP BUT READ OVER AND OVER.
Review: I FOUND THIS STORY TO BE VERY ENTERTAINING AND MOTIVATING. I WAS INSPIRED BY TIM DAGGET'S COURAGE AND DETERMINATION. THIS IS A WELL WRITTEN BOOK AND CONTAINS MANY INTRIGUING FACTS ABOUT TIM DAGGET AND GYMNASTICS

Summary: Inspiration from an American hero
Review: I met Timmy when he was the celebrity judge at the Branson Chili Cook-Off. Although he said my chili "tasted like one of his severe injures [he] incurred during the Olympics," and that it was "really bad," he inspired me to buy his book, and his book inspired me to be the man I am today. I noticed that Timmy was walking with a pronounced limp, breathing heavy and sweating profusely. When I asked him about this, he told me that he had been an Olympic "star" and that he had suffered severe injuries while competing, but came back to be a celebrity judge and motivational speaker. Frankly, he certainly wasn't much to look at, in his stained overalls and whiskey breath. So I thought his story of Olympic glory was just a product of his extreme intoxication. Boy, was I wrong.The book is a page-turner. Without trying to give too much away, it is the story of an above-average gymnast who suffers crippling injuries during the Olympics -- twice costing the Americans the gold medal -- and who (for religious reasons) refuses medical attention. His left leg now has only one-half the size and strength of his right leg, but the size of his heart more than makes up for it. This is about gymnastics. This is about severe injuries. This is about your gymnast friends not talking to you anymore because you cost them gold medals. This is about refusing medical attention. This is about walking with a limp. This is about a hero. I give this book my highest recommendation.

Summary: The Book is Great, but "Ouch!", my leg!
Review: I remember dearly when Timmy won the gold for our great country. And his book on achievement delivers more of that olympic gold straight to you! Boy did I learn to achieve. However, what is not clear in the book (and I only learned when my lawsuit was dismissed), is that you can achieve in more than just gymnastics! I really messed up my leg something bad. They need to come out with a second edition that explains the message better, like in the front cover or something. Then, this book will be a "perfect 10".
