Phil Hellmuth knows what it takes to become a champion, and then stay there. Year after year he keeps his head down and wins titles, bravo! -- Jim Harbaugh Univ. Michigan football coach My husband Dave Goldberg admired Phil so much as a poker player and as a friend and his book shows why. It is both entertaining and inspiring, and is a great read for anyone who wants to learn about the thrill and experience of becoming the best in the game. It offers lessons not only for aspiring players but for fathers as well. -- Sheryl Sandberg Facebook COO and Founder of Lean In and Option B I coach champions, and Phil Hellmuth is the biggest champion in poker with 14 world titles.
