In this young readers edition of the international bestseller, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight 'offers a rare and revealing look at the notoriously media-shy man behind the swoosh' (Booklist), opening up about how he went from being a track star at an Oregon high school to the founder of a brand and company that changed everything.
You must forget your limits.
It was only when Phil Knight got cut from the baseball team as a high school freshman that his mother suggested he try out for track instead. Knight made the track team and he found he could run fast and even more he liked it. Ten years later, young and searching, Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high-quality running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the boot of his car to start, he and his gang of friends and runners built one of the most successful brands ever.
Phil Knight encountered risks and setbacks along the way, but always followed his own advice. Just keep going. Don't stop. Whatever comes up, don't stop. Filled with wisdom, humanity, humour and heart, the young readers edition of the bestselling Shoe Dog is a story of determination that inspires all who read it.
This is an abridged edition of the internationally bestselling adult book, but in addition it includes new frontmatter and backmatter, an introduction to the younger reader and 'A Letter to the Young Reader' that provides advice from Phil Knight for the battles that lie ahead for young people.

Das mit Abstand beste Buch, welches ich in den letzten 10 Jahren gelesen habe. Obwohl es eine biografische Darstellung zur Entstehung des Labels Nike, sowie des Werdegangs Phil Knights sein soll, lässt sich das Buch in der Maniere eine Rick Riordan Buches lesen. Phänomenal!
Nette Lektüre

Ich habe das Buch von einem Dozenten empfohlen bekommen und es hat meinen Erwartungen nach einer netten Lektüre entsprochen. Es ist interessant die Geschichte hinter Nike zu erfahren und insbesondere wie alles begonnen hat. Wie in vielen solcher Bücher geht es um Durchsetzungsvermögen und einen Traum den man erfüllen möchte. Es ist einfach zu lesen und unterhaltsam.
