A great read for anyone who enjoys athletic biographys. Throughout the book Michael Johnson(a successful gold medalist sprinter)talks about how to overcome fear and how to fulfill your dreams. This book has influenced me and has changed the way i train, now, instead of going out with some friends and just kicking the ball around, I actually practice the things I'm not so good at and improve my weak game. I now ask myself this question after every training i do, 'Have i just become a better socce...more
What a great pump-you-up book! I thought it would be a more biographical/historical account of his 400/200 double gold. Turned into a great read on identifying goals and staying focused. Really enjoyed the book and the insight from MJ.
“Life is often compared to running a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best.”

Inspirational & Motivational. This is an athlete with a unique perspective on how to achieve you goals by commitment and unwavering devotion. I gave this book to my son when he was a high school track & field athlete and also a football player. After reading this book, it changed his training habits. He eventually became a state champion in the triple jump and broke his high school's record. He was also a star running back and received an academic scholarship for college. This is not jus...more
Very honest and open autobiography from Michael Johnson. He cuts to the chase and say it as it is. Also, unlike many other biographies of the athletes, Micheal Johnson included more and he dressed the book as a kind of 'self help' book. It is quite inspirational if that is your cup of tea.

Many people, including my brother, only read educational or motivational books that move them toward personal and career goals. As I read Slaying the Dragon, I got it. I'd like to stay in that zone! You can't read about Michael Johnson's dedication and the mindset that won two Gold Medals and a world record in the 1996 Olympics without applying it to your own life. And that is because Johnson constantly reminds the reader to apply it to our professional, academic and family life. This is part au...more
This book is a good read for anyone that enjoys athletics or bettering themselves as a person. I really enjoyed this booking being a track and field athlete myself, running in the same events. Reading this book by Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson has given me a different outlook on the way I train and think. In this book he explains how making very specific goals help you reach your ultimate goal much faster and how you should be mentally prepared for failure, although you shouldn't expect...more
I don't like self help books. I don't really consider this a self help book. This was a book about an elite athlete and how he became an elite athlete. He was very honest about his situation. He didn't say that everyone can be what he is (if you don't have the genes, you don't have the genes). The principals directly related to me beginning my new life as a mud-runner.

Great lessons in mentally preparing for failure as well as success. Sometimes what happens in life is not fair - dealing with being unsuccessful and/or failure with a great attitude is essential to still go after the end result. While our plans of necessity are in sand - needs may require they change/adjust and the timing is a sliding scale but the ultimate dream/goal is set in concrete. The trappings/financial gain from success is not what ultimately defines us.

This book was very good! Awesome book for any track athlete to read. I loved reading this book. I actually learned a lot of useful things. I would recommend this book for just about anyone. My favorite part of the book is at the end of each chapter there is a review of the chapter and tips for success. I enjoyed reading the book because it wasn't challenging and it was a nice holiday read.

While Michael Johnson may no longer be in the limelight with his amazing record-smashing victories at the Olympics this book offers a nice mix of his personal story and challenges he overcame to be the fastest man alive. There are also some excellent goal-setting tips that I found were

Hard To Find. Not your ordinary biography. It is also a self-help book. Very inspiring. Definitely worth the read.

A generic self help book, with tons of photos for filler. If you've ever read a self help book, you don't need to read this.
An awesome book for any athlete that wants to set their goals and more clearly understand how to implement discipline in their life.
An excellent biography on the life of Michael Johnson.
Inspiring, fast read.
