Isn't the point of having a ghost writer to avoid sentences such as, "She was short and her reddish hair was short, too" or "I was eating humble pie before anybody had even ordered desert."

Well this book didn't turn out to be what I expected. I started reading this after another crossfit book. I think I struggled with this one because it is heavily faith based. I skipped over a lot of the information, especially the workouts.
The book does give a great description of the different moves, acronyms, and WODs.

I loved this book personally, but if you're not familiar with Crossfit workout terms, or aren't religious, you may struggle to get through this book which is written for a very specific audience.

Interesting read. Had to skip past all the Christianity bs, so that's at least 1/3 of the book I just skimmed. Didn't really dig the whole Boy Scout portrayal. Can't tell if I like him more or less after reading this.

This book is written very simply, which makes it a quick and easy read. I was far more fascinated in the beginning because it was all about his life pre-CrossFit. It was not nearly as fun to read about him competing in the CrossFit Games as it was to watch them, but I could still picture the events as I read.

The title gives an indictation that you're going to learn a lot about Crossfit games champion Rich Froning's mindset and work ethic when it comes to getting an edge over other Crossfit competitors. What you get is a rehash of how important hard work is, and an absolute ton of discussion about his relationship with God and how his faith guided his life.
