\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Growing up in the state of Tennessee as a female athlete, Pat Summitt has always been someone that I have looked up to.\u00a0 I’ve read her other books and studied her career and her leadership skills closely over the years.\u00a0 Her book Sum It Up<\/em><\/a> is an anthology of her entire career as she confronts the devastating diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.\u00a0 Throughout her career, she has relied on a sharp mind, dogged determination, and a quick wit to take her place as one of the most outstanding coaches ever…in any sport…male or female.\u00a0 She holds a remarkable number of records and has experienced every success that basketball has to offer.\u00a0 She quickly points out that she would trade it all in for the chance to continue coaching and permanently defeat Alzheimer’s.<\/p>\n

I didn’t highlight a lot in this book…I was too focused on the conversation and the stories.\u00a0 As someone that had a chance to watch many of Pat’s milestones over the years, this book felt like a conversation at a cookout recounting humorous moments, sharing heartaches, learning about the girls she coached, and most importantly hearing about her faith that has become her rock through all of this.\u00a0 This book indeed summed up the outstanding legacy of Coach Pat Summit.<\/p>\n
