A business fable about excellence – from the bestselling author of The Energy Bus and The No Complaining Rule

In the spirit of his international bestseller The Energy Bus, Jon Gordon returns with another inspirational business fable filled with invaluable lessons and insights on bringing out the best in leaders and teams.

Training Camp follows the story of Martin Jones, a five-foot-seven rookie trying to make it to the bright lights and big money of the NFL. He's spent his whole life proving to the critics that a small guy with a big heart can succeed against all odds. After spraining his ankle in the preseason, Martin thinks his dream is lost. Just then he happens to meet a very special coach who shares nine life-changing lessons that keep Martin's dream alive...and might even make him the best of the best.

Based on his work with professional sports teams, world-class sales organizations, and interviews with top professionals in a wide variety of fields, Gordon reveals the deep truths and proven strategies that get the best to the top of their game.

Training Camp shows how the very best performers–whether it be in sports or in business–all share the same nine qualities. Among other traits, the best of the best are able to maintain a big-picture vision while taking zoom-focused actions, they are mentally stronger, they inspire excellence in the people around them, and they become the model by which others measure themselves.

For anyone who wants to make it to the top of their field, Training Camp is a practical life-changing story with simple wisdom about what true excellence requires–and how anyone can achieve it.

I found it as energizing as when I read the Energy Bus. Already started applying some of the techniques to my daily work life. Would recommend the book to be read by those who need a boster to their work lives.
