โ€œEddie Reese, no person a better coach no coach a better person. This book says it all. A master class from a true genius in our sporting world.โ€

โ€œA master love story. Eddie Reese demonstrates to all of us that when you fill your life with love, you change forever those whom that love launches.โ€

โ€œHe is the finest man and most effective coachโ€ฆNot just in the highly competitive field of world class swimmingโ€ฆI mean any coach, in any sport.โ€

โ€œListeners meet enthusiastic and nostalgic swimmers of all ages who were involved in garnering Reeseโ€™s 39 Olympic Gold Medals and 15 NCAA titles. Warnerโ€™s smooth delivery keeps frequent time and location changes clear. Most atmospheric is Reeseโ€™s own gravelly timbre as he shares his belief that in addition to the obvious skills needed to succeed as an athlete, a strong self-image and enjoyment are key. He emphasizes that being respectful, even to defeated opponents, is essential to good sportsmanship.โ€
