    It is a page turner
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2020*

The book gives real insight into how the idle rich can become delusional and have their minds corrupted. Their minds become corrupted because they can buy their Glory instead of working for it, and the masses are made to grovel at their feet hoping to be the benefactor of whatever crumbs fall off their table! They are much like a puppet masters, who get sick joy, from pulling on the strings of people around them, like they are toy marionettes. Who only exist to keep for the amusement & gratification they're selfish egos.It also gives insight into amount of personal sacrifice that goes into becoming an Olympic wrestler. The type of work ethic wrestlers have represents the best traditions and values of American culture. Setting a grand example that we should all strive to follow and emulate!It's beautiful to read about Mark's Shultz's personal triumphs in the face of great adversity.

    Mark Schultz give a great back drop to his early life with his mother
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2018*

The autobiography of Mark Schultz and the struggles of his life, the brother that he always looked up to, Dave Schultz, and the man, John Du Pont, that took all most everything from him. Mark Schultz gives a great back drop to his early life with his mother, father, and Brother who he had always had a rivalry with even before they started their wrestling careers. Sadly Mark's mother and father divorced early in his life which lead to him having anxiety problem, but he turned these problem into his sport careers particularly wrestling. Wining many championships along with this brother Dave they got to the Olympic level of the sport and wining gold becoming the only brothers in history to win double gold in wrestling. Schultz goes in depth with his relationship with Du Pont and the problems the man had and what he took from him other then killing his brother Dave out of a kind of jealousy for taking over the Olympic team that Du Pont made; know as Foxcatcher. Du Pont was a very mentally problem redden man that Schultz goes over his past as a young man and his social isolation, the problems he had with this mother, as well as him wanting to become a Olympic athlete, but never could. You could see that the team Foxcatcher is a make up for past failure in Du Pont's life or you could see it as just another of Du Pont collection of things that he frequently did with other things he found interesting, but would become bored of and moved on to something else. Kind of like a child. But most of all he had a need for control over his life. This Ultimately leading to Du Pont taking Mark Schultz's Brother from him as well as his dignity as a wrestler. The best thing about this true story of a tragedy that could have been avoided is that Mark Schultz comes out as a fighter in the end and gaining his dignity back when he joined the UFC for a time. He always considers his Brother Dave as the greatest wrestler ever, but Mark should consider himself as one of the best if not the best fighter in the world for the struggles he has gone through. And that any person can learn about how your struggles have meaning and that you should keep fighting.

    Painfully transparent...that is what makes this book great
  

*by B***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2014*

For anyone interested in getting to the heart of what it takes to be one of the greatest athletes America has produced, this book is a great read. My interest is that I wrestled at Stanford while Mark Schultz was an assistant there, and we became good friends. One of the greatest experiences of my life was watching Mark and Dave wrestle with each other the hour or so before the collegiate practice started. Their wrestling was the most intense man on man competition imaginable. This book gives a glimpse into Mark's mind that gave birth to this athletic magic.Mark was a very intense athlete. Wrestling and winning was absolutely everything to Mark, but Mark wasn't one to open up about the mental side of his wrestling. This book lays it out there. The role that fear of losing played in Mark Schultz's motivations is almost tragic. I think to enjoy the book fully the reader needs to accept that Mark is being honest about his flaws without attempting to "fix" himself. This raw unfiltered expression is part of the portrait that makes the book so insightful into the fighter's mind. This book like the movie is certainly not attempting to make Mark Schultz a hero, but simply a fighter obsessed with being the best fighter he can be. This is a great and quick read. Five stars.
