Picture
        I bought Sum It Up as soon as it came out and all I can say is if you are looking for an inspiring read, this is it. Pat Summit is a                             fascinating women with an incredible career and a lot of courage and grit. Her co-author Sally Jenkins has a great gift for bringing out             interesting details that provide the story behind the story. 

        While Summit has coached women's basketball, I found her ideas on what it takes to be a champion to be directly motivating to me in my         work which has nothing to do with sports. I was also interested to learn about Summit's early life and how those experiences shaped             who she became.  

        Of course, this book is bittersweet because of Summit's diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's, yet again Summit's is inspiring us by r               reminding us to face and fight adversity as hard as possible as well as to treasure each moment.
