The book was inspiring on several levels, most of all because the boys of the title all hailed from the Pacific Northwest. They each came from humble walks of life but went on to be the most heralded American crew team in history. Along the way to triumphing in the Olympics, they dispatched some of the best crew teams in the country from Cal-Berkeley and several East Coast teams full of blue bloods. In fact, several of the boys from that team won every race during their four years of collegiate and Olympic rowing - quite a feat!
Pick up Boys in Boat. It may just inspire you to do something you did not think was possible.
