"In Be Your Own Hero, esteemed coach and mentor Noel McBride offers his experience and life philosophies to strengthen the correlation between sporting excellence and excelling in life. I found this an empowering read, as McBride discusses invaluable character traits focussed on during athletic training such as motivation, commitment, discipline, passion, persistence, belief, and self-evaluation which are all necessary when also working towards personal goals and enhancing the quality of one's life. Coaches, mentors, teachers and parents will find this a wonderful reference, as would general readers for a dose of positive encouragement to accompany them toward attaining personal greatness."
