Week 6 Reading Post

Today I finished reading Walk-On by Alan Williams in 2 hours and 31 minutes.

For me the project has been a success. Today I finished my seventh book in six weeks which averages out to the one book a week goal that I set for myself at the beginning of this project. The books I have read have inspired me and some also have strengthened my faith. The second half of Walk-On was one such book. Alan shared stories such as being cut from the team after his freshman season when he had been promised a spot on the team for four years and his father being diagnosed with leukemia. These were especially trying times in his life. Turning to God was his only choice to find the comfort he needed. This is a lesson we all can take to heart. He also shared some good memories. After being cut his teammates constantly lobbied for him to be back on the team, how he fought through conditioning drills to be a part of the team, and when he got to play in the final 11.34 seconds in a game in his hometown. This book was a great example of how to be a teammate- not only in basketball.
