Worth the purchase Great book. Loved the content.Like the subtitle says, for success in sports and life Terry Orlick's advice for winning and having a positive outlook reminds me of my running coach back in high school. I think In Pursuit of Excellence could've been his bible. Naturally, as a 17-year-old I didn't appreciate the lessons nearly enough. We spent what seemed like an unnecessary amount of time drawing up race plans—actually writing them down in a notebook—and doing visualization drills. I now see the value, but back then all I wanted to do was run.In this book, the author has a tried-and-true formula for success, but since most of us have never competed on the level of the audience he's speaking to, I'm guessing all the planning, visualizing, self-evaluations and pep talks he preaches won't make much sense to the casual reader. Terry Orlick is straightforward and completely un-cynical with his methods. I admire him for that. And he gets results. That's what matters most.Five Stars Excellent book, I learned so much about myself
