Description
Phil Knight's journey to building one of the world's most successful brands began with a simple idea and a lot of determination. As a high school freshman, he was cut from the baseball team, but his mother encouraged him to try out for the track team instead. This chance decision led to a passion for running and a career that would take him from the track to the top of the business world.
With just $50 borrowed from his father, Knight launched his company with a mission to import high-quality running shoes from Japan. Selling from the trunk of his car, he and his friends built a brand that would go on to change everything. Along the way, he faced risks and setbacks, but always followed his own advice: just keep going, don't stop.
This young reader's edition of Phil Knight's bestselling story is an abridged version of the original book, featuring original front matter and back matter, including a new introduction and advice from Phil Knight for budding entrepreneurs.
