VALA READS: Shoe Dog
I was recommended Shoe Dog by my boyfriend, as he kept telling me how much he was enjoying it. Once I picked it up, I expected it to be just another memoir but was quickly hooked by Phil Knight's remarkable journey of building Nike from a fledgling start-up to a global empire.
With a dream of improving the running world with his trainers and an unshakeable determination to make it a reality, Shoe Dog chronicles Knight overcoming countless setbacks throughout the process of realising his vision. He imparts decades of wisdom throughout the book, which is punctuated with glimmers of victory and passion.
There are countless quotes that have stuck in my mind and many lessons to be learned from this memoir. Whether you're reading it from the perspective of an athlete, a business owner or a lover of Nike, there's plenty to discover about living a life with purpose, determination and dedication.
