Sum It Up

Review by Felicity

Sum It Up: 1,098 Victories, a Couple of Irrelevant Losses, and a Life in Perspective

by: Pat Summitt, Sally Jenkins
Genre: Sports/Non Fiction/Autobiography/Inspirational

Rating: Y 12

Content:  I do not remember specifics but overall yes I believe this book is clean

Summary:  (from goodreads)
Pat Summitt, the all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history and bestselling author of Reach for the Summitt and Raise The Roof, tells for the first time her remarkable story of victory and resilience as well as facing down her greatest challenge: early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

Personal Review:
As soon as I was introduced to the world of basketball in 7th grade I became a big fan of the Lady Vols and their head coach Pat Summitt. I recently found this book in the library. I was not disappointed, Pat Summitt is an amazing women and I have only come to respect and idolize her more, the more I learn about her. This book shows Pat Summitt’s struggles and successes not only on the basketball court but with Alzheimer’s as well. When I grow up I want to be like her.
