There are however few who can write a spectacular book about a sports legend that takes the reader inside the life of the athlete.....lets them know them personally and shares their fears, strengths, and what makes this athlete what they are on and off the field. Robert Allan Young is one of those gifted authors and I believe there are more great books in his future. Robert thank you for bringing us into the hearts of so many." Lyle Bauer
