“To Persevere Is To Succeed”

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!

Fantastic!

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!

Full of life lessons!!

Phenomenal book! Really highly recommend to keep you motivated through thick and thin. Grit teaches you life lessons to keep in mind everyday. Grit is full of old school outlook to life if your looking for a warm and soft approach this might not be for you. I had my whole family read it and it really did help everyone in their own way. It was easy to read and very well laid out. Grit is full of lessons you already knew just didn't realize that they were rules for life!

Good advice, good anecdotes

It is a very good experience to read this book since it feels like you are sitting with an old coach sharing his wisdom about the old and days and the present. It is very "conversational" in my opinion, and some people might want a more direct approach to knowledge. If you enjoy the anecdotical approach, this book will please you. If you want a succinct account of grit, this might not be a good read for you.

Quick easy captivating motivated convitcting read

Loved the character and his situation. Loved how it felt like I was about to share in on his letters to his grandkids almost like they let me read themThe points stood out strong and they were as motivational as they were convicting at many points I found myself whispering...thats me..Lastly this book is an easy read it's not just for sports people (because I am not one in any sense of the word) it's for anyone who wants to develop that mental toughness (that grit) to push though obstacles embrace pressure and finish strong.Would recommend to the ADHD community for sure! And just about anyone I meet!

I really enjoyed this book

I really enjoyed this book. I love how it seemed as if everything was against Bob Flanagan but he stuck to his principles and kept fighting.

Average

Average advice that would come out of a pamphlet and bland stories about sports games. But- it gets the job done.

Enlightening book on ‘Old School Grit’ by Darrin Donnelly

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
