More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is more than just a sports book, although the author is an accomplished Test cricketer. Justin Langer was a member of one of Australia's greatest sporting teams for nearly a decade - but the messages of Seeing the Sunrise go far beyond the boundary rope. Many of the book's stories come from the sporting field - and its leading characters are high-profile champions, such as Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden - but the lessons learned can be shared by all of us. Seeing the Sunrise is a handbook for overcoming self-doubt, for revelling in success, for aiming high. It is about mastering physical and mental goals, enjoying victories and fighting adversity. Finding the mental strength to cope with pressure and fear has been one of Justin's greatest lessons and in Seeing the Sunrise he encourages us to look at the sunrise, not the ground below.
About the Author
Justin Langer played 105 Test matches for Australia between 1993 and 2007, scoring 7696 runs and 23 centuries. He was a key player in great Australian teams captained by Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting, and with Matthew Hayden formed arguably the most successful opening partnership in Australian Test history. In 2001, he was named one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year. Justin is also the author of From Outback to Outfield and The Power of Passion, and is patron of several charities, including the Children's Leukaemia and Cancer Research in Western Australia.

Agreed. Its a good read.
But (a) its a little disappointing when it turns up - doesnt excatly take a long time to get through and (b) a lot of its contents have been cut and pasted from elsewhere (at least that's how it seems to me).
Nevertheless when personalised through anecdote or test arena recall, it goes up a level. However, given the author, the promise and the other reviews - I was ultimately disappointed.
Still we're not all the same - and I'm currently in the minority.
Average.

This is simply one of the best books I've ever read, written by someone who has the great skill of writing text which is profound yet uncomplicated.
And I'm not even an Aussie...
