Shoot Your Shot: A Sport-Inspired Guide To Living Your Best Life

Easy to read, compelling, and full of powerful well written messages on achieving your full potential and living your best life.

Bought it for my 15-year old son who is pursuing basketball professionally. He needed an extra "boost" on improving his mindset and he loved reading this book.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 13yr old son who has lost his love for basketball. The sad part is, he has that God given talent for this sport, as well as any other he tries, and it's sad to see his talent, as well as love for the sport, wane. Not only that, he's not really doing well in school & has seemed to lost his way. We've tried it all & then some. Honestly, I his mother was feeling hopeless. When I came upon this book, I thought, just maybe he could be inspired by the stories of others (I did not know Dwayne Wade was academically ineligible his freshman year, wow look where he ended up). Maybe if I got it & I read it to him, maybe using it as talking points, he could find some hope & belief in himself again. Something told me to read it first, take notes & then do what I said I would do with him. But here's the huge part, I HATE reading, so I made it a conscious effort to do so on this New Years day Jan 1, 2025. I'm so glad I did! loved each and every thing about this book especially how the writer kept me engaged from the beginning, to the recaps, as well as the acknowledgements, hence why I'm doing this review! (I believe it was noted in the post-game section.) This book has turned out to be something I needed to encourage ME NOT to give up hope and actually inspired me to make 2025 a year of truly advocating & supporting my kids in ways I hadn't thought of! Several times I had tears in my eyes looking up and thanking God for putting THIS book in my hand, including reading about Kevin Durants tribute to his mom in the gratitude section...I can only HOPE and have Faith that my new found strength will someday be what my kids, especially my son, will never forget. So thank you for being a blessing to this newly inspired distraught mom who can't wait to start imparting this book & it's wisdom with God's strength to help my son do a 180 degree turn to realize that he IS here for a God given purpose and I will help him no matter what that purpose is to succeed. This book is not geared toward just sports but life and everyone should take 4 hours (again I am NOT a reader blaahhhhh I'll watch a video) to garner this divinely sent book. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Pray for me and my kids, it's been a difficult challenging ride...I hope this review helps another parent know their is still HOPE with God and it's in this book! God bless and Happy New Year!

Nothing in Particular

This book motivated me to live my best life.
