Be the Lead Dog - Liz Parrish

This was a very informative and interesting read. I never thought I would ever learn so much about sledding and their dogs. The book starts off by introducing you to a world of sledding. Liz explains everything about sledding. She explains the roles of each dog, the role of the musher and the equipment used. She even explains the meanings of the commands. This book explains the lessons that are taught and learned by and from the dogs and the musher. It is a close family and team and she goes to explain each lesson in detail even giving you her own person story at the end of each lesson. She also gives some tips on how to better achieve your goal. There is also a notes section at the end of each chapter/lesson so you can write your personal goals, action plan and/or just some notes that may help you along the way. I really think Liz Parrish did a great job with this. She not only teaches you lessons and gives tips she brings sledding to a whole new interesting level.

From Ghetto to Greatness - Kevin "Coach" Brown

I was lucky to get this e-book from the author and although the writing wasn’t truly solid I still enjoyed the book. It was a quick read and it kept my attention at all times. The book grabs you right from the beginning with his train accident. It fully grabbed you and made you want to read more. I really enjoyed how he spoke of his life and made it simple and real. It was hard to read at times because of such sadness but it kept me wanting to read more. It is always nice to read about personal triumph. This story is definitely one of those books that show personal growth. He comes from such a hectic background and at times it looked like he was headed down the wrong path but he would change and be brought back to reality and with all his hardships he learned to cope with it and instead of making things more negative he made them into positives and now he helps people achieve what he had. It helps to have someone really care about you and understand what you are going through ion life and I really feel that he is a positive role model and personal helper to those who really need it. I recommend this book to anyone either looking for some positive reinforcements or simply for just a great read.
