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!

Ages 10 and older will appreciate these tips from figure skating champion Kwan, who tells of her struggles in her career. Her advice to readers on how to become successful and overcome obstacles imparts the basics of what it takes to become a champion in any endeavor.

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!

Michelle Kwan has always been one of my idols through out my skating career. This book really made me see that I can accomplish my dreams as long as I work hard. Anything can happen if you just believe in yourself. The best parts of this book were the quizzes at the end of each chapter. They really teach you something about who you are. This book is a must read! I haven't met one person who has said the loved it!

I have read Michelle Kwan's 'The Winning Attitude'T'wice!
While I no longer belong to the age group that the writing's are aimed at, not for a long........time.I nevertheless was
impressed by the writings. I fail to understand why anyone who has read this book would consider it suitable only for children.One only has to keep up with the News to know of the problems that prevail in communities among all age groups to see how the principals laid out in this book,which I found to be both educational and inspirational,could prove valuable to anyone who takes the time study and follow the guidelines therein.I would suggest this book could be used in schools if not as part of the text certainly in civic classes!
With the author as an ''outstanding role model'' who lives by the
very same rules I could only imagine this book which is full of
''commonsense'' as having a positive influence on schoolgoers,
teachers and parents alike.

This book is so great. It tell how your children could overcome fear and disappointment. I recommended this book to everyone. Michelle tell what it took to be a champion not by winning, but by over comming fear.

Michelle Kwan is an amazing skater who has broken ground in her sport, but she is also a success story as a person who set goals for herself and acomplished them with determination and dedication. While the advice in her book may seem like common knowledge to some, it is worthwhile advice for anybody out there, especially young ones, who has dreams and wants to make them realistically come true. As a college student, my professors still stress some of the same things that Michelle tries to put in perspective time and time again with her down-to-earth, non-technical style of writing. I think people of all ages can appreciate her message.

This is must read for young teens who want to know what kind of attitude is takes to make their dreams come true. Thanks Michelle for sharing your story with us all. You are a great inspiration.

Michelle Kwan has always been one of my idols through my skating career. This book really helped me to see that I really can make my dreams come true. All I have to do is work hard, and I can make anything happen. My favorite part about reading this book were the quizzes and learning things about myself. This book is excellent for anyone of any age. I haven't met a person who hasn't loved it.

It is a bit annoying that amazon places it for age 9 - 12 and that reviewers say it's good for their children. (not good for themselves?) Though the book is full of 'childish' languages, the winning attitude here is full of youth and refreshing, unlike those written by professional psychiatrists - I'm not saying they are not good. I recommend this book to all who love Michelle.
