Synopsis

Go for the win! Achieve excellence and be better than you’ve ever been!In his years as a professional ice-skater, Olympic Gold Medalist Scott Hamilton learned to embrace the mind-set of working hard to “beat” the competition. But it seems competition has gotten a bad rap these days. We’ve bought into the belief that it is unfair to participants to rank performance. Yet competition is in fact a good thing because it’s about working toward excellence.Finish First is a wake-up call for business leaders, entrepreneurs, spouses, parents, and even students to stop settling for mediocre and begin to revitalize their intrinsic will to achieve excellence and go for the win. Most of us feel we were made for something more, but we’re often afraid to allow ourselves to be competitive because we think our finishing first might somehow rob others of their chance to shine. This book encourages the hidden potential, the champion within all of us, to come out—which eventually brings our family, marriage, career, business, and the world around us the greatest possible good.

Well written and inspirational, Scott Hamilton truly finishes first on my list with his account of winning changing everything.

Goodreads review by Mediaman on April 25, 2018

This 2 and 1/2-star book is way too short and shallow, filled with glib outdated pep-talk words of wisdom. The book feels decades old with most examples being from athletes and stars from the 1980s.There are a number of mistakes (his history of Oprah is just plain wrong, saying she became an AM radi......more

Be inspired to rise above the challenges thrown at you in order to live life to the fullest and achieve your dreams! So, when the book arrived I had no clue what it would actually be about. It turned out to not be so much about his life or skating after all but about how competing seems to be viewed......more

I’ve never been a sporty kind of girl. However, there’s something about ice skating that fascinates me. My great-aunt used to record every competition for me so I could watch them at my grandma’s house. That was how I first learned of Scott Hamilton. I remember him being this short little guy who wa......more
