Learn from Michael Jordan's shoe, Boris Becker's tongue, and Michael Phelps' goggles.

Sometimes, pouring yogurt over your head is what you need to succeed, and a winning ship doesn't need just one, but four captains.
This book is handy for your first job, a tough exam, when you need to lead but don't know how, or just want to benefit from lessons from elite sports. Each lesson has been multi-tested by the author in practice and can be applied both inside and outside the sports arena.
