Sampling of Amazon book reviews:
Marty achieves his goal: writing a book that helps everyone overcome negativity that pervades our society, and lead a positive, healthy and long life, fulfilled with satisfaction and meaning.
Loving this book – as a 19 year old working with him daily 35 years ago, Marty changed my life and guided me with his affirmation to succeed. It’s funny, I am trying to still learn from his wisdom. Love the book.
If you can’t spend time with Marty, then this book is the next best thing. A mental sports guide, as well as a spiritual guide for general well being. Get the book and spread positivity and love. It’s damn funny, too!
This was a book I couldn’t put down. It was filled with so many life changing events for Marty. He’s a fellow that spent his whole life trying to improve himself and in doing so helped so many others to do the same.
Hey Ol' Buddy!
Marty Devlin has lived a unique while unmistakably American life. In his memoir, Ol’ Buddy Marty recounts experiences from his fascinating and multifaceted life as sports star, coach, innovator, and motivational speaker. He lives the values with which he was raised, which reflects the best America has to offer. Marty caught and rode the wave of growth in the fields in which he worked and played—professional baseball, tennis, college athletics,the business of sports—and contributed to them his uncommon passion and vision.
“May my story inspire you to have a positive attitude and continue to have the desire, belief and confidence to take on new challenges.”
Hearing about Marty’s life story and his perseverance in sports was remarkable. I hope that one day when I am 83 I am able to live with just as much excitement and happiness that he does.

Listening about how he turned nothing into something was amazing and the fact that he did it over and over again was special. Leaving the class that night I had a different perspective on work ethic and attitude.

Not a day goes by that I don't hear your voices and words of wisdom as I move through my day. We all will continue to work to attain your level of excellence.

In all my travels, I have yet to encounter or work with a person who can match the raw enthusiasm, the dynamic energy, and the positive impact that Marty Devlin generates during his presentations.

Marty continues to amaze me. He had an audience of 90 to 100 Texas (tennis) teaching professionals on the edge of their seats.

Did you know?
Marty’s physical stature didn’t come close to that of a world-class athlete and he had difficulty in school early on in his life, but he succeeded at a high level in sports and ultimately in any endeavor he took on.
Marty has been honored for his varied achievements in sports and in the community, including by his induction into six sports Halls of Fame.
Marty takes on challenges that most people wouldn’t even consider with his zest for life and confidence in his ability to solve problems.
