Brief review: There is no limit to human potential. If you set out to do and achieve what no one expected could be done, you become an inspiration to the world. This is so true for ten sportspeople featured in this inspiring book. It is the story of athletes who brought glory to India, both in the national and international arenas. Not deterred by the the limitations of the human body, these men and women showed extraordinary courage and resilience to overcome adversity to became champions in their respective sports. In this book you will read about the 'magician on the badminton court', 'the one eyed cricketer', an iron lady with polio who won golds for India' and others. The book also takes cognizance of the fact that the country's bureaucrats need to be more sensitive towards such extraordinary stars. True stories related to sports are always inspiring ro read.
