For me who is trying to establish a player needs centred environment, this has been a great help in working towards and achieving that aim. Judging by the amount of notes I've made, it's had an impact. Looking forward to see how much impact it will have once we return after the Coronavirus allows us to. I love this book!
Stein brought together both my favorite loves sports and self-help , and did a phenomenal job in constructing the material. He gives great suggestions on how certain principles can apply in our daily lives. I'd highly recommend this to those interested in either sports or self-help, but especially both.
Thanks Alan! Feb 10, John rated it liked it. I probably should have guessed by the title, but the books makes heavy usage of sports metaphors and analogies. While that might be good for some it's often lost on me because I'm not a sports fan in general. Still, it was a decent read with some good advice for people in all levels of their working life, and seems to focus pretty heavily on bridging the divide between manager and associate - something I think many leaders often miss.

Probably a must read for anyone with a sports background looking to improve their business mindset and productivity. Mar 09, Kristen rated it it was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed and found that there is a good balance of business and sports content to remind us all of how to lead teams on or off a court.
Apr 01, Sam rated it liked it. Quick read. Good stories on coaches, sports stars and business moguls. The sports star information becomes dated quickly these days and didn't always seem to translate to business guidance.
I want to raise my game after reading this book I started reading this book not knowing what it would teach me at the end. After finishing this book, I have been pleasantly surprised at the knowledge I have gained. Jun 06, Jon Atkins rated it it was amazing Shelves: popsugar-challenge , Alan wrote a very good book, for both basketball and business. He did a great job of coming up with tangible information that you can put directly into use. There also was a lot of spinets from other leadership and basketball books that increase your scope of influence.
Great book!! This book really made me see things differently. I love basketball, but as a civil engineer, I search for improvements everyday.
I recommend this book to sports lovers and professionals in general. Aug 01, Alex Pogue rated it really liked it. I feel like having to wade through the basketball stories made the lessons slightly less impactful. Although if you get past that aspect, there are some great lessons about team communication and changing your work and life in a positive way.
Aug 17, Haz the Bhagwan rated it it was ok. It has good general advice for succeeding in business and life. Unfortunately, it is a bore, and it could shed 75 pages without losing significant content.
The dozens of basketball stories become tedious at a certain point. With enough patience, however, useful nuggets can be found. Dec 31, Mark rated it it was amazing. Jul 13, Firman Rasyidi added it. What high performers do or have done in the game of basketball, have very high utility and can transfer to any area of our life. They can transfer to our personal lives and business.
The things the elite players do are things that all of us can do. They never get bored with the basics. They work on their craft relentlessly in pursuit of mastery during the unseen hours. The book is divided into three parts. So, they can transfer to our personal lives, they can transfer to business and entrepreneurship. They apply to us as individuals, but they also apply to us on an organizational and a collective level. And the most important takeaway or big idea is the fact that the things the elite players do are things that all of us can do.
So when you look at a game like basketball, the most foundational area of the game is footwork, how you move your feet determines your ability to shoot and pass and rebound and defend. It determines how fast you are and so forth. Performance coach Alan Stein Jr. High achievers are at the top of their game because of the discipline they have during the unseen hours.
They have made a commitment to establish, tweak, and repeat positive habits in everything they do. Raise Your Game examines the top leaders in sports and business and proves that success is a result of the little things we do all the time.
The basic principles provided in Raise Your Game are simple, but not easy. The number one principle a CTG student must master is the ability to chase failure. The majority of us are taught through society that failing is never a good thing. If you truly want to achieve whatever your dreams are in life, wanting, craving, and chasing failure is how you are going to get there.
If we fail more, we learn more. If we learn more, we will gain more knowledge. If you recognize yourself shying away from failure, just remember that you are getting farther and farther away from your hopes and dreams. You can conquer and achieve anything you want in this world by chasing failure. She has been playing basketball for as long as she can remember.
