Reviews

Kallen, one of the first female boxing trainers to succeed in this male-dominated sport, skillfully illustrates how boxing techniques can be applied to achieving success in one's personal and professional life. Each of the 12 "rounds," or chapters, focuses on a boxing strategy that can help one become more competitive and equipped to handle life's various dilemmas. Chapter titles include "Get the Right People in Your Corner" and "Watch Those Low Blows." The book provides a great deal of insight into what it takes to become a champion not only in boxing but in life. Unlike personal development books that take a spiritual or introspective approach to leading a successful life (e.g., Susan Taylor's Lessons in Living, LJ 11/15/95, and Ayanla Vanzant's The Value in the Valley, LJ 5/1/95), Kallen's work is written in a light, refreshing tone that gives readers a play-by-play description of what it takes to avoid or rebound from some of life's hardest hits. Kallen uses anecdotes and her own personal experiences to prove that winning a fight requires skill, preparation, and a detailed plan, some of the same ingredients needed for achieving personal success.
