Editorial Reviews
"If you love peak experiences - moments of acting perfectly in the right way at the right time in the right place - you will learn here how to acheive them ever more frequently. I don't quite trust people who don't love and respect sports. I trust Bill Thierfelder a lot! He gets it. He sees the sheer beauty of the perfect act - of doing exactly the right thing, at the right time, in the right way - especially in almost impossible circumstances." --- Michael Novak, author of
