Description
by Whitey Herzog (Foreword by), Chris Chambliss (Contribution by), Mark Littell (Author)
Every once in a while, a book comes along that soothes your soul. I'm near certain that when Mark Littell wrote this book, that he wasn't thinking a baseball mom and self-help author would wind up being his biggest fan Yet, here I am, sleeves rolled up, getting more life lessons I will share with others. This book isn't just about baseball, it's about never giving up, pushing through and past adversity and taking a look back at it all and mentoring others. Mark has left clues for those ready to listen about how to do things the best you can that aren't about talent. Things like showing up early, respect, respecting the process and more. These are things that apply to everything - not just baseball or professional sports. Thank you for taking the time to write this book from your heart and voice. I hope everyone reads it and listens and learns. Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino "Best Ever You"
