I thought this book was very inciteful, and very useful too! 'The Winning Attitude' gives useful hints and tips that apply to just about everything in life; whether it's competing in sport, striving to get straight A's, or just trying to be a better friend. Michelle certainly has made an impact on my life - yet again, and I recommend it to everyone. Whether you're 10, or 100, a little girl or a teen ready to take on the world, this book is for you!

Being a competitive skater myself, it's sometimes hard, especially on bad days, to keep perspective and to keep going. Michelle's book is GREAT! It really helps you to focus and get back on track -- and stay there! For anyone who works hard at anything they love to do, at age 5 or 105!
