Review:
Quinn is the definition of never quitting. He keeps his head up and keeps working. Now look at him. He is a champion at every level on and off the court! I love my little brother. I’m so proud of him for writing this inspiring book that will impact kids at all levels!
LeBron James, NBA Champion
To be a champion at every level is one thing, but to actually be a multiplier and make everything better is another. This book shows that Quinn is the true definition of resilience and hard work. The sky is the limit for Quinn and this book!
Stephen Curry, NBA Champion
I’m inspired by this book by Quinn Cook. To see him go from a little boy chasing a dream and then capturing his dream–while also inspiring others–says enough. His love for the game and concern for others makes him stand out from other people. Seeing how far he’s come has only made him stronger and better, and it’s made us tighter. I’m happy that I’ve been there every step of the way to support him.
Kevin Durant, NBA Champion
I love Quinn. He is one of the best leaders I’ve ever been around. He’s a pure joy to coach. I’m so appreciative for our relationship.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski, Hall of Fame Basketball Coach
