  This was ahite... its possible I may have liked it more if I hadn’t already read a lot of books or seen a lot of movies that’s similar. It’s still worth recommending though to anyone who thinks they may benefit from an inspirational push to do their best at whatever they are doing and being nice to others whom they might be doing them with.

  Our coach gave this book to us to read as a team. I enjoyed the story and it definitely showed my empathetic side. It was a gut wrenching story with an incredible message

  This was a quick read, but it felt like a high school student wrote it along with too intensely glorifying George for me.

  I am soooooooo underwhelmed!! The author did a poor job of carrying the hard hat theme throughout the chapters. The prose isn't very elegant. I thought it was going to be some elitist dribble about a golden child catholic Anglo-American who plays a culturally appropriated sport at an ivy league school. The author didn't really dispell any of my preconceived notions. This could have really pulled at my heart strings. It could have painted a vivid humanizing story about how a lacrosse athlete inspires his teammate in the wake of his untimely death. It could have rallied my work ethic and motivated me to become passionate about my work ethic. It did not.

  At the end of each school year, we are given a different Jon Gordon book to read over this summer. Most of Gordon’s books are fables so I was interested in this as it was based on a real person. The book is filled with 21 lessons on becoming a great teammate. Pursue excellence, WD>WS, and love your team are ones That resonated the most with me.

  I actually really liked this one, and I am not usually for team-building-type nonfiction. This was short and to the point and was very inspiring.

  Not as good as the carpenter

  I felt this individual was overglorified, the author stretched what could’ve been a good article into unnecessary book and stretched what are probably seven principles into 21. Very disappointing read.

  "Well Done is better than Well Said". That's life motto of a great teammate in the world - George Boiardi. After finished this book, i don't know what is exactly lessons from that. I just respect and think a lot about him. The stories from teammates, coach, family, friends are so much truthful and identical. He's just to good to be true, great and close, a man that everyone hopes to meet at least once in life.
  I'll keep thinking about him for a time, but now, tôi không nghĩ trong cuộc đời này mình có thể hi sinh nhiều và vĩ đại như anh ấy. Tôi, chỉ là sau khi đọc cuốn sách về một người lạ, tôi thực sự nể phục và ngưỡng mộ, cảm xúc gần gũi là có thật. Tôi nhận ra mình còn hạn hẹp và nhiều thiếu sót trong cashc lãnh đạo. Muốn đội nhóm tốt, không thể chỉ nghĩ cách giúp mình tốt nhất mà còn cần thực sự quan tâm, giúp đỡ đồng đội phát triển. Bởi" Đôi khi bạn là ngôi sao và đôi khi bạn giúp đỡ một ngôi sao".

  This will be a hard review to write as I read this for work... This was a bit overboard on the sweetness scale, but very inspirational. A true story of George Boiardi who died on the Cornell lacrosse field on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day, 2004. His family, friends, teammates, coaches and many others have been touched by his life and death. The lessons of being a lifelong learner, having positive energy and leaving things better than found are three that resonate with me. The once percent rule is something I will try to incorporate into my daily life. By giving just a little more time and energy each day, annualized this will have a big effect. This really goes well with doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way!

  From reading this book you get a sense of what a great human being, teammate, son, student, leader and inspiration on and off the field you can be by applying the work ethic of the man who sacrificed it all to be great.
