Gianluca Vialli, campione di Juventus e Sampdoria e poi allenatore di Chelsea e Watford, ha raccolto e raccontato 99 quotes e 99 storie sportive (l'ultima è autobiografica) che lo hanno ispirato e tuttora lo ispirano nella sua progressione di vita quotidiana.
Ogni quote è strumento di meditazione e motivazione ed è collegato a ogni storia. "Goals" quindi va tradotto con "obiettivi" e non semplicemente con il suo significato meramente sportivo.
