About this ebook
People who excel in sports, or in any other high performance realm, understand what it takes to be successful. Most however, did not initially appreciate what it takes, but they chose to hang in there until they learned. The fundamentals of what they learned constitute the central theme of this book. The book begins with an extended metaphor of a forty-story apartment building. You can choose to live on any floor that you wish. Of course, the views are great from the fortieth floor, but this building has no elevator. How high do you want to go? How good do you want to be?
You will find that the tools, information and case illustrations in this book will be helpful in your sports endeavours whether you want to be the best you can be on the fifth floor, the twenty-fifth floor, or at the very top of the building.
You will also find, in this book, that your self-worth is the foundation upon which you construct your life, both in and out of the sports world. When you know that you are a person of worth, you can give your full attention to the undertakings that are important to you because you know that as important as your sports achievements are, they do not define you. When you know that you are a person of worth, independent of the floor you aspire to, you will be free to be the best you can be.
