Shoe Dog - Young Readers Edition by Phil Knight

Condition: some marks and imperfections in cover. 

It was only when Nike founder Phil Knight got cut from the baseball team as a high school freshman that his mother suggested he try out for track instead. Knight made the track team and he found he could run fast—and he liked it.

Ten years later, young and searching, Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high quality running shoes from Japan. He and his gang of friends and runners began selling the shoes from the trunk of his car, but eventually they built one of the most successful brands ever.

Phil Knight encountered risks and setbacks along the way, but he always followed his own advice. Just keep going. Don't stop.

Whatever comes up, don't stop. Filled with wisdom, humanity, humor, and heart, the young readers edition of the bestselling Shoe Dog is a story of determination that will inspire.
