I am a Sportshead and Nike is one of my favorite sports brand! That's as far as I am going to let in my bias towards Nike get into my review of this book.
Shoe Dog is nothing short of a thriller and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a movie coming out soon. Extremely well paced and easy to read, Shoe Dog takes you on a journey of one man's dreams, grit, determination and passion that ends up creating a billion dollar industry out of running as a sport and running as a product almost single-handedly.
Shoe Dog is one book that is meant for all - startups, established businesses, young people looking to get into sports or experienced sportsmen looking to continue to improve - as it gives out many hard learnt priceless lessons on business, sports and life at large from the life and times of Knight and Nike. It shares great life lessons in the form of interesting anecdotes on risks, importance of being passionate about what you do, perseverance, tenacity, dogged determination, innovation, business ethics, trust, faith and you name it.
Rest assured, if you like sports, then reading Shoe Dog will transport you to a locker room talk being given by a coach before a big game moment. It will get you pumped up enough to charge ahead and conquer whatever it is that you are chasing out there!
