When I began reading this.. I think I went through 13 capters..IN THE BOOK STORE!.. OVerall a pretty good book..the motivating points are simple, easy to follow and very effective. The later chapters about Faith were something this book could do without.. it almost brought about a sense that all the Self building you learn in the begining of the book turns out to be not good enough..and you need religion to be complete. What about Atheists or Agnostics or people of other faiths who want to follow the motivating parts of this book? Its worth a read/reread though..

If you just read the words of this book, it is about a guy trying to make it in the NFL - for me the sports analogy itself is engaging. However, open your mind and your heart to really HEAR what this book is SAYING. This book resonated with me and my life in a way I can't hardly put into words but I must say that Jon Gordon has had that impact on me since I first saw him speak LIVE in January 2009. I have read all of his books and each one speaks to me in its own way but "Training Camp" is the book that has the impact to make you realize that it is all about BEING YOUR BEST IN EVERY DAY LIFE.I bought this book for my entire work team as well as several of my family and friends - I have shared so much of what Jon Gordon has taught me with his words in 2009 with work colleagues, my family, my friends as well as people I meet in every day life. Anyone will enjoy the message that Jon delivers in this book if you OPEN your HEART and MIND to hearing how being the BEST is truly what MATTERS MOST.Take a look at Jon Gordon's website for many motivational "tools" which he offers; also see when Jon is speaking in a town near you...trust me, he is worth the time & money!! I've been in sales my whole life and seen a ton of different motivational type speakers but Jon is HANDS DOWN the BEST MOTIVATIONAL type speaker I've ever heard. God definitely put Jon Gordon on this earth to share his messages with the world - so THANK YOU JON for continuing to give your gift to all of us!! [...]

You'll see this review for all the Jon Gordon books I read. I actually bought "Training Camp" first, because I wanted my daughter (competitive soccer player) to work on her mental game. I read it first to be sure it was appropriate for her age (15). Well, I loved it! I found many helpful things for me. I was getting in a rut at my job and after looking inside myself, it seemed as though I was always angry and frustrated. I reached a point where I decided to change my outlook on everything, and whatever happens externally, happens. After Training Camp, I read the entire Jon Gordon series. They are very easy reading, regardless of age level (teens and up). People might complain that his books are too basic, but if you don't need a PHD to understand something, why write it like you need one? Each book has very simple steps and/or lessons to move you in the right direction. They didn't all work for me, but they all changed my outlook. Great stuff!

This was an easy read. The story was engaging and the points were easy to understand. This is a book every new manager should read.

My husband is a big Jon Gordon fan so I bought this as a Christmas present. He hasn’t read it yet but is looking forward to reading it. But it came on time and looked great in packaging.

It was an amazing book . Highly recommended.

This is a must read for any coach. Full of practical examples that you can implement with your team.

Great book. interesting perspective. Lots of useful 'life advice'.

This has to be the worst book I’ve ever read about self improvement ever, just utter crap on every page, beneath there are some nice messages but you have to dig so hard to find it when the rest of the writing is so full of pompous ‘god fixes all’ guff preached by the writer, the one section was just a full on American preacher scene with all the wailing and gnashing. I have respect for all beliefs and quite frankly this is just a flagrant abuse of the authors power to enforce he’s own belief on to others and that is a terrible message.

Great book I would suggest all coaches should read.
