Loading... Landing It: My Life on and off the Ice (1999)by Scott Hamilton
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) Salsabrarian | Jun 22, 2020 |   ) whymaggiemay | Dec 17, 2009 | Scott Hamilton proves himself to be just what you always thought he was...a just plain old nice guy, who happens to be an amazing figure skater and entertainer. Sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes tear-inducing, always honest, sometimes painfully so. Never catty, never gossipy, and he's hardest on himself. He has his own point of view, but always tries to give others the benefit of the doubt. Literate, easy to read...either Scott is a very well spoken man, or he has a superb co-writer (I suspect both!). The only thing I would have liked is a glossary of skating terms, and diagrams of the figures. But I guess that's what Wikipedia is for! ( ) anotterchaos | Feb 18, 2009 | no reviews | add a review
Scott Hamilton talks candidly about the early hurdles thrown in his path. A childhood disease that stunted his growth, the wrenching decision to leave home at age thirteen to train with other Olympic hopefuls, the death of his mother from breast cancer, yet nothing could stop him from achieving his goal. Scott Hamilton came to dominate the sport in the late 1970s & skated away with Olympic gold in 1984. Thirteen years later Scott was still skating professionally, performing on TV specials & commentating for CBS Sports. In 1997, however, Scott found himself in the toughest competition of his life, battlling testicular cancer & win he did, performing on prime-time television just seven months later No library descriptions found. |
