Full Description

Jon Gordon returns with another inspirational fable filled with invaluable lessons and insights on bringing out the best in yourself and your team. Training Camp follows the story Martin Jones, an un - drafted rookie trying to make it in the NFL. He's spent his entire life proving to the critics that a small guy with a big heart can succeed against all odds. After spraining his ankle in the pre - season, Martin thinks his dream is lost when he happens to meet a very special coach who shares eleven life - changing lessons that keep Martin's dream alive - and might even make him the best of the best.
Whether you play sports or the piano or work with numbers, a computer or a scalpel, these lessons apply to everyone who must climb the mountain before reaching its peak.
Based on his work with professional sports teams, world - class organizations, and interviews with top professionals in a wide variety of fields, Gordon reveals the deep truths and proven strategies that take the very best to the top. Training Camp reveals that the best performers - in a variety of fields - all share the same qualities. Among other traits, the best of the best are able to maintain a big - picture vision while taking zoom focused action, they are mentally stronger, they seize the moment and they inspire excellence in the people around them.
But these aren't inborn traits; the great news is that they're skills and attitudes that can be learned and applied by all. If you want to be your best - Training Camp offers an inspirational story and real - world wisdom on what it takes to reach true excellence and how you and your team (your work team, school team, church team and family team) can achieve it.
The message in Jon's books and speaking presentations is such that NFL coaches such as Jack Del Rio, Mike Smith, the PGA Tour and the FBI have called on Jon to inspire and benefit their teams. Jon and his books have been featured on CNN, NBC's Today Show and in Forbes, Fast Company, O Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Clients such as The Atlanta Falcons, Campbell Soup, Northwestern Mutual, Publix Super Markets and JP Morgan Chase also call on Jon to bring out the best in their leaders and teams.
