Training Camp - (Jon Gordon) by Jon Gordon (Hardcover)

About the Book

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

Book Synopsis

Training Camp is an inspirational story filled with invaluable lessons and insights on bringing out the best in yourself and your team. The story follows Martin, 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 his dream alive--and might even make him the best of the best. 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.
