Summary
Scott Hamilton, 'Finish First' Winning Changes Everything
The Not Old Better Show, Interview Series
In his years as a professional ice-skater, Olympic Gold Medalist Scott Hamilton learned to embrace the mind-set of working hard to "beat" the competition. But it seems competition has gotten a bad rap these days.
Scott's new book, 'Finish First,' is a wake up call on the subjects of competition, survival, perseverance, thriving and winning.
We all know Scott as a living example of good guys who finish first. He is a New York Times bestselling author, Olympic champion, cancer survivor, broadcaster, motivational speaker, author, husband, father, eternal optimist, and firm believer that the only disability in life is a bad attitude. For more than twenty years, Scott has inspired audiences throughout the country with the story of his life and how he has overcome adversities.
Check out my interview with Scott Hamilton, and check out his new book, Finish First.
