This book is about a way I have discovered to get better at anything, regardless of age, limitations or current level of proficiency. This is not a book about fundamentals. The book assumes the reader already has a fundamental level of proficiency. It is a practical book for people who are serious about continually improving their personal performance.

I discovered the approach I share in the book as a software development coach and I explain in the book how I have applied the approach successfully to multiple personal improvement endeavors.

If you are wondering why you should care about getting better my first answer would be that we all need purpose in our lives. Having a goal to improve yourself is one way to keep yourself excited about getting up in the morning and tackling the day. A second reason to care is because if you are not getting better you are getting worse. No one stands still.

If you are primarily interested in team performance, you should care about the material in this book because teams succeed when team members understand their role and have the proficiency needed to perform.

Whether you are looking to improve your professional skills, or just looking to get better at a hobby such as golf, running, or tennis, this book will give you the tools you need to get better at whatever you want to get better at, and keep getting better for the rest of your life, regardless of any obstacles you may face.

What people are saying about this book

\"First, this is an interesting and well thought out book. I have read it through a number of times, taken notes, and even gone back to some of your earlier referenced books for help in understanding your process. Secondly, reading the book has inspired me to develop a game plan for improving my own golf game. I think the strength of the book lies in your personal examples at identifying problems, setting goals, implementing a game plan, and the tips for reaching successful solutions. The deeper into the book I read the more I enjoyed your insights, process and tips. The illustrations are helpful in understanding and reinforcing the content. Perhaps the most valuable, and personally reinforcing, aspects of the book for me are your insights on being a proactive patient and on meditation and mindfulness.\" Rich Allman, Financial Planner(Retired), Binghamton, New York

\"I found this book personally constructive. I really clicked with your underlying methodology. I will reread and I am pretty sure I can work your approach into what I consider lifelong challenges. Funny, mine revolve around running too --something I haven't been able to do successfully for years, but something I enjoy and something I too believe has a positive effect on my life.” Jim Convery, Runner, Norfolk, Virginia
