Raise Your Game

Outline

Raise Your Game (2019) applies lessons from elite sports to leadership and business. Alan Stein Jr. draws on his years training top basketball players to show how the best performers master the fundamentals, practise consistently, stay coachable, and put the team first. The book offers practical habits for self-awareness, discipline, and leadership that anyone can use to perform at a higher level.

• Top performers in sports and business win by mastering the fundamentals rather than chasing flashy shortcuts.
• Consistent practice, not occasional bursts of effort, is what separates elite performers from everyone else.
• Staying coachable, meaning open to feedback and guidance, keeps your performance improving over time.
• The best performers and leaders put the team first instead of focusing only on personal results.
• Self-awareness and discipline are habits anyone can build, whatever their job or field.

Stein is an American performance coach and speaker who spent many years training elite basketball players before teaching the same lessons to business teams. Sternfeld is an American writer and editor who has co-written several books. Together they wrote Raise Your Game.
