"What impresses me is his raw ability to share the vulnerability that athletes experience which in todays society is hard to share without scrutiny. His ability to change habits and emotions for the better through self-introspection and trial and error humanizes him and takes away the facade and stigma professional athletes are sometimes labeled with."

-Colin Young, Former Minor League pitcher for the Colorado Rockies and Boston Red Sox and MLB Coach for the San Diego Padres

"What a great book! It really dives into the mindset and emotion of what it's like to be a professional athlete. Every player reaches a point in their careers when you have to make a choice of continuing to chase a dream or face the reality of retirement. As someone who has been through it myself, Josh really captures the highs and lows of the experience. The journey he takes you on to rediscover himself and reconnect with life is inspiring."

-Mark Defelice, Former Major League pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers

“Great honesty and challenging you to do/be more. This book is a honest look at dreams lost and purpose regained. It speaks to your heart about your own broken dreams and challenges you to move forward, becoming better, stronger and live with purpose. This is an especially great read for those who need to be honest with themselves, young men/women will gain wisdom and knowledge. If they apply what Josh spells out and challenges, they will gain understanding and more wisdom. Be encouraged and take heart someone cares.”
