Hoop Dreams Fulfilled is a detailed, first-person account of an athlete's failures and struggles on his way to playing professional basketball. Through in-depth experiences, Tyson Hartnett describes his journey playing basketball starting in 4th grade, through high school, college, and eventually professionally overseas. He profiles his mistakes and failures, and his eventual redemption.

This isn't just a book about an athlete achieving his goals. It's about the worst things Tyson experienced so younger athletes can learn from him. It's about what happens when an athlete is so focused on their sport that they don't care about anything else in life, and the repercussions of that mindset. Hoop Dreams Fulfilled touches on deep, intense sports psychology, and the weight and pressure many athletes feel but are afraid to talk about. Tyson recaps his failures in excruciating detail so others can learn from them.

Hoop Dreams Fulfilled will appeal to anyone who has had significant challenges in their life, yet realized their potential to overcome and master these challenges. It contains universal life lessons which will appeal to people from all areas of life.

An initial review:

Hoop Dreams Fulfilled proves that you don't truly know someone unless they decide to let you in. I thought I knew Tyson, but the emotional bravery in his book rocked me. Most writers hide their truth in fancy phrases and perfumed prose. Hoop Dreams Fulfilled isn't that book. I was amazed at the honest look inside his world playing basketball, including his thoughts, fears, motivations and dreams.
