"I really like how he has taken a number of the key" according to Keri. Having read a number of Jon Gordon books, I really like how he has taken a number of the key concepts from previous material and linked them to sports coaching and developing athletes.

IMO, Jon's best book since "The Energy Bus". a MUST READ AND SHARE! Simply amazing - we instituted The Energy Bus training at our company early last year to help deepen our culture and frame the way we interact with one another and with our customers, to rave reviews! Production efficiencies greatly increased and turnover dropped also.
