"Runners spend so much time on training: week after week after week. Sometimes, it seems that that's all we talk about. But the end goal is the race. Unfortunately, we don't always put in the same dedication to planning a successful race as we do planning our training. Racing Wisely provides that often missing ingredient of race preparation and will help runners put all their great training to good use when it counts-the race. Sage Rountree understands performance, and this guide will prove invaluable for goal-oriented athletes."

""Racing Wisely" delivers exactly what you hope for from a smart yogi-runner-triathlete: thoughtful insight about goals, intentions, and actions told in an engagingly conversational, down-to-earth style. I love that this book offers practical and philosophical advice for the whole spectrum of athletes, from serious goal-driven competitors to more experiential but just as passionate casual athletes. A great addition to the thinking runner's library."

The drive to be #1 in a professional field or on a playing field is a powerful source of motivation for many people. Others place a higher priority on becoming a better person. "Embracing Your Potential" explains how to achieve excellence and balance in both the performance and personal domains of life.

Author Terry Orlick labels these two domains as the ""Gold"" and ""Green"" zones. The Gold Zone includes the visible, tangible achievement markers, such as career advancement, win-loss records, and financial status. The Green Zone involves relationships and intellectual, spiritual, and cultural pursuits. Orlick argues that ""going for the Gold"" need not-and should not-require sacrificing the growth and development of the Green, and that the two zones can be nurtured simultaneously.

Both inspirational and practical, "Embracing Your Potential" shares insights and quotes from elite athletes, performers, and people in highly demanding jobs. It also features 30 exercises that can help readers make meaningful, lasting changes to boost their performance and enrich their lives.

"Embracing Your Potential" applies to people from all walks of life that want to excel and yet enjoy every day in the process.
