When I saw this book I knew that it was going to be very interesting. I knew that I was going to learn so much more than I had expected form this famous ball player. Jeter had always loved baseball and never stopped to play and many people can relate to that. Just like Jeter I have a love for a sport also. I love to play soccer and I was playing since I was 3 years old. When I read this book it gave me a little confidence that if I worked harder I could get better and better each day. This helped me and I know that I have gotten better at soccer.
