The key to unlocking your potential isn't in training harder or doing more sophisticated workouts. It's in thinking better about your training. Think better, train better. Make the Leap provides athletes and coaches a step-by-step guide to thinking more effectively about all aspects of training. It first explains exactly what the Leap Cycle is and why some athletes make a leap while others don't. It then systematically breaks down the attitudes and behaviors that the top performers use to achieve their success via 11 Optimal Training Principles and 4 mental model spotlights. The hands-on, practical companion workbook was created to help coaches and athletes build these breakthrough ideas into their training. It includes one page summaries for each chapter, as well as targeted questions to help you apply the concepts today. The format makes it both a complement to the book or a valuable stand-alone option for those looking to think better, train better, and make the leap. “Make the Leap will transform how you think about your training, which in turn will transform your entire running experience. If you feel you have untapped potential, read this book.” - Matt Fitzgerald, Coach, Author of 80/20 Running and Chasing the Dream "Make the Leap is a pathway book. A mental running clinic in book form, it allows an individualized approach for each person that reads it. It is a book I will read over and over again." - Ken Reeves, 2x National Coach of the Year at Nordhoff High “Make the Leap has completely flipped my mindset in every aspect of my training, and I now find myself more engaged and motivated to implement purpose in everything I do within my formal training program as well as my day-to-day life. I truly believe reading this was one of the best things I could do for myself in striving for my athletic potential." - Sarah Turner, coach/dietician, BananasAndSplits.com See more reviews at: maketheleapbook.com/praise
