Product Description
What does it take to become a Champion? The answer may surprise you. Did you have a personal hero while you were growing up? Did that person change your life forever? It may have been a sports hero, a spiritual or political leader, a movie star or another celebrity that you loved and tried to emulate. The Champion Spirit Series shares the sacred truths and guarded secrets of world-class champions: Their health and training habits, personal failures, and triumphs are food for thought and positive action. Among them are people who have survived life-threatening injury or turned away from crime in order to use their fame for the good of others. A champion reaches beyond what coaches, parents, and society expect. Winston Churchill said, “All great things are simple and many can be expressed in one word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.” Heavyweight boxing Champion Jack Dempsey said, “A Champion is someone who gets up when he can't.” Anyone can aim for the best.

Inspirational, Indeed! October 23, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
It took a health expert to tell me more about Jackie Robinson and Hank Greenberg than all the bios I've read on these memorable athletes. Letha Hadady has provided a real service here by combining history, culture and health care all in one wallop -- and she did so with a firm command of her subjects. I knew about the religious barrier and the color barrier, but not to the extent as provided here in this short but illuminating piece. Jackie Robinson had diabetes? I didn't know. I go back to Montreal with him, even before he got to Brooklyn, when he played for the Montreal Royals, so I've always felt that connection with Robinson and still think he did more to bring the races together than anyone. I was inspired by this story and I'll be returning to this Amazon Short to learn more from Letha's health tips. Altogether, a superb essay. Jack Engelhard
valuable advice on diabetes October 23, 2007
Even if you are not a sports fan this Amazon Short contains extremely valuable advice on herbs and diet for diabetes--a health problem that hurt Jackie Robinson and affects many other people today. I am a fan of Letha Hadady's books and have lost over 40 pounds using Feed Your Tiger. This life story of Jackie Robinson is good reading and very useful for anyone who wants to protect health. I am giving it to my Little League friends.

I've been a Jackie Robinson fan my whole life. I think he personified the sport of baseball--honor, courage, and team spirit. It was a thrill of a lifetime to see him play. This piece by Letha Hadady is a fine tribute to his legend and I appreciate learning things about Jackie I never knew before. Since I have diabetes, I will use her advice to protect my health. Thank you forever.
The Gift Of Good Health October 17, 2007

I have used Letha Hadady's popular alternative health and beauty books for years. Her new Amazon Short on the life and times of baseball great Jackie Robinson makes good, fast, and easy reading. I especially enjoyed the stories about the important friendships between Robinson and Dodgers' manager Branch Rickey and Jewish ballplayer Hank Greenberg. Truly inspiring. I am giving this Amazon Short as a gift to my friends who are World Series fans and those who need health advice for conquering diabetes. FIVE STARS reading!
The Greatest Baseball Story Ever Told October 17, 2007
When I was a kid my father took me to Brooklyn's Ebbits Field and we sat high up in the bleachers, ate popped corn and yelled for the home team. At age ten I rode my bike half way across the City to the house of Carl Erskine, the Dodgers' star pitcher so that he could sign my baseball. Even now--so many years later--I can still list the lineup of the team that put Brooklyn on the map. I never got to meet Jackie Robinson, a great American hero and shining example for everyone who loves the sport.
This Amazon Short tells Jackie Robinson's awe-inspiring personal story-- his troubled youth and struggles against racial prejudice. As an added bonus, because this biography is written by Letha Hadady a highly respected natural health expert, it describes the best diet and herbs for diabetes, a disease that Jackie had and that many other people suffer from today. Jackie acted with great character and confidence in all that he did. Youth today can learn a lot from his story. Anyone with diabetes will be interested in the sound health advice found here. I strongly recommend buying this Short and I look forward to the upcoming Champion Spirit Series of Amazon Shorts.
