"If you love a never-say-die underdog, if you're looking for a good old-fashioned redemption tale, then Dan O'Brien is your guy and his memoir is your next book. At just the moment when most people would have quit, Dan dug deeper, which makes reading his story feel like a burst of adrenaline, no matter what kind of race you're running in life." Andre Agassi

"Dan O'Brien is one of the greatest athletes our country has ever produced.". - Jackie Joyner-Kersee
"I've covered a lot of great athletes in my career, but few are in the class of Dan O'Brien. For a moment in time he was one of the biggest stories in the world, and for good reason. I am in awe of him not only as an athlete, but as a man who persevered through so much to achieve his dream". - Dick Enberg

I don't think people realize the pressure he was under to make good on the title of World's Greatest Athlete after suffering arguably the biggest embarrassment in Olympic trials history. He is a true champion". - Michael Johnson (five-time Olympic gold medalist)
