Publisher's Description
In his years as a professional figure skater, Olympic Gold Medalist Scott Hamilton learned to embrace the mind-set of working hard to beat the competition. In doing so, he found the strength to rise above every challenge life has thrown his way. But it seems competing to win has gotten a bad rap these days. We’ve bought into the belief that failure must be avoided at all costs and it’s unfair to participants to rank their performances. Scott has lived a life filled with victories. But he wasn’t born a winner. Neither were you. Some labels just have to be earned. In Finish Firs t Scott explains how to understand your unique purpose, why you aren’t a winner—yet, how to break the pattern of losing, why you should ditch fear and celebrate failure, and the importance of editing your critics. You’ll be amazed at how simple and logical it is to be better than you’ve ever been. Awaken your greatest potential and embrace the fact that you were born for something special. We need to relearn that competition is a good thing because it drives us to live to the fullest and strive to be better than we ever thought possible. To finish first is something we all dream about. It’s time to begin achieving those dreams.

“Scott Hamilton makes no apologies for finishing first and outperforming his competitors, and neither should you. Competition makes us stronger, and winning allows us to reap the rewards that, in turn, enable us to give back to others and our communities so they can become stronger. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for motivation to reach goals and who wants to stand on the winner’s platform.”
“Executive chairman, Macy★s, Inc. “Scott Hamilton has overcome defeat, disappointment, cancer, brain tumors, and debilitating loss, has been overlooked and underappreciated, and yet has emerged as one of the greatest champions in the history of his sport. Scott is a winner both on and off the ice, and in Finish First he shows how you can be a winner too.”
“Scott Hamilton has been a friend of mine for years. He’s kind and humble and wildly talented. In this book he won’t tell you what you want; he’ll remind you about who you are. His message is simple: you’ll finish first if you want it bad enough. “Everyone has an opinion. Scott has a story. It’s about love and grace and failing and trying again and winning. You’re going to get clarity on your story as you read his. Buckle up. I know you’re going to enjoy this book.”
“Scott Hamilton’s story is all about ignoring the doubters and living with purpose. You may be wondering if it’s time to throw in the towel, but Finish First will challenge you to keep pushing forward. If you’ve got breath in your lungs, you still have time. It’s never too late to start winning.”
