Testimonials for Oscar Chalupsky
When I think back to what I read you could be a guy from another planet – all fiction! I have never come across anyone before with such a strong mind / will to win / self-confidence. I don’t think the vast majority of people have a clue about the extent of your wins all around the world – mind-boggling! I also think the way you’ve set the book up with lessons at the end of each chapter is excellent! I have given the book to my son who is a good /keen sportsman and he was aghast when I gave him a short summary – so I know he’ll love it and he will pass it on to his mates! Oscar, it was a privilege meeting you and Clare and I will always marvel at what you’ve achieved! And I know with your attitude, your cancer will be overcome! All the very best Oscar.

Knowing Oscar and how he charges at the challenges thrown at him I was keen to see how he balanced his infamous confidence with this new challenge that I could not pretend to comprehend. I heard an Oscar that balanced the sheer force of his personality with a sense of humility and gratitude that was inspiring. The challenging humour levelled at his competitors was delivered with both a sense of his inimitable confidence and respect. The balance of wit and win was great and clearly paved the way for his biggest challenge ever. He made something that would have broken the best of us somehow uplifting and reassuring and that there are two ways to tackle seemingly insurmountable hardships… either throw in the towel or draw on all your inner strength and those close to you and stare it in the eye. That’s what Oscar did.
