    About this audiobook

    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.

      I enjoyed this book, mostly because of Scott Hamilton's positivity, which is especially notable given his medical history. I liked that he tried to apply lessons he learned from his skating years to other aspects of life. I didn't know some of his history--such as his parents telling him he had one more year of skating or his mom dying. I did know about his childhood illness that defied diagnosis, his cancer, and his brain tumors. I like that he is open about his Christian beliefs and tries to apply them to at least some of the principles he's discussing in this book.It was shorter than I would have thought. It did make me wish I could hear him speak in person.
