Interesting Read but . . .
I enjoyed reading the book and found many parts of it interesting but it seemed to have the same theme throughout in every chapter. It did shed a light onto the dark side of the journey and makes the reader really consider whether or not to push their kid into that life. Just learn to love the game and enjoy, when it doesn’t become fun then join a beer league like 99.9 percent of us do. Thanks for the honesty and stories.
