About this listen
Sonny Bill Williams (SBW) is a once-in-a-hundred-year athlete with immense sporting talent in rugby league, rugby union and boxing. Sonny Bill has built an incredible career and sporting reputation across the globe. His athleticism has taken him from inner-city Auckland, where he grew up, to the highest sporting moments in Twickenham, Eden Park and Sydney's Olympic Stadium. But there is so much more to Sonny Bill Williams' life and journey than his on-field and in-the-ring triumphs.
Sonny Bill's love of family, his faith, his skill and performance throughout his unparalleled sporting career, his ability to unite a team under pressure, his grace in owning his mistakes, the challenges of leaving home as a young man and dealing with a negative culture and the temptations that followed, and his courage in speaking out for the vulnerable and calling out injustice are all aspects of an inspiring life story.
Sonny Bill Williams was the first Muslim to play for the All Blacks. Driven by a fierce moral compass, Sonny Bill Williams thoughtfully and authentically uses his standing and platform as both a UNICEF ambassador and an elite sportsperson to speak out on political issues that confront the world today and to benefit those struggling in life. He is a dedicated family man, devoted to his faith, committed to his teammates, respectful of his fans and aware that the path he has taken can inspire and empower others. Working with Alan Duff, award-winning author of Once Were Warriors, this will be the must-have autobiography of the year.

A great story, but poorly portrayed by the narrator.
Loved the story, but the pronunciation was not the best. A normal person understands the annunciation of Alhamdulillah and so should a professional narrator. Name pronunciation is paramount amongst Polynesian culture and should be justified, especially when the book is primarily directed to polynesian personnel.

Good for insomnia
I would of enjoyed the audio better if the reader didn’t sound like it was his first day of learning how to read and mate you have an indigenous last name but can’t pronounce indigenous names wth ? The lack of enthusiasm really killed the book for me . Felt like I was listening to a manual for how to fix a fridge or something bloody boring . No energy at all . Im definitely sure SBW didn’t listen to you readying this before he gave the nod . Sooo disappointing,Audible please refund me my credit .

good listen, positive message, interesting.
sonny has a really positive hardworking vibe. I didn't know to what extent until I listened to this. I've now forgiven him for leaving the dogs, and am considering less of a party lifestyle. it was also a great motivation for hard work.

Good Story
I am not a huge fan of SBW but after listening to his background I have much more respect for him. I enjoyed this audio book.

Unexpected
I got the book because I had spare credit wasn’t a big Sonny Bill fan Noar paid the tractor. I absolutely love the story and how he is as a great human makes me think about my life choices. Great book I will listen to it again many times.
