5.0 out of 5 stars Dan O'brien is an inspirational athlete and a great person., February 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Dan O'Brien (Overcoming the Odds) (Library Binding)
Dan O'brien is a inspirational athlete and a great person. Not only has he survived the hurdles thrown at him in his life, he excelled past them to truly beat the odds. What is so great about this athlete? He is honest. In his past he has done drugs, drank alcohol in the excess of becoming an alcoholic, and partied a bit too much. Yet he admits it. He not only was ashamed of his past but knew that he need to turn his life around. He did it with the help of longtime coach Mike Keller and excelled not only on the track but in life also. It takes a big man to admit he is a failure. But it takes a bigger man to change his ways. Not only did Dan O'brien do both of these thing; he also became the Worlds Greatest Athlete of all time!!
