Description
From the greatest lacrosse player of all time, lessons on becoming a true champion - in sports, business, and in life Long before Paul Rabil had become the most acclaimed lacrosse player of all time, the sport's first million-dollar man, and started his own professional league, he knew he wanted greatness. The problem was he lacked a manual. So, he went out and created one. He asked Bill Belichick how to prepare, Steph Curry how to practice, and Sue Bird how do be resilient in the face of adversity. Through the wisdom of these legends and his own--often painful--trial and error, he forged himself into a true champion. And in doing so, he wrote the manual he always needed. The Way of The Champion is the synthesis of everything Rabil learned on his path to becoming the greatest lacrosse player of all time. But this is not merely a sports book. It is a guide to embodying a champion's mindset--in sports, in business, in relationships--with memorable stories and lessons for how to be a pro in all areas of life. According to Paul Rabil, "No one is born to be a champion. Becoming a champion is about the rigor and mindset by which we define ourselves. It's equal parts strategy, philosophy, psychology--and sheer determination. That's The Way of the Champion."

And I better get to work learning it."

Paul understands the mettle and grit it takes to go from amateur to pro, from pro to elite, from elite to executive - and the need to occasionally slow down to take care of the things in your life that matter most.
