Training Camp 
What the Best Do Better Than Everyone Else

Training Camp is an inspirational story filled with
invaluable lessons and insights on bringing out the best in
yourself and your team. The story follows Martin, an un-drafted
rookie trying to make it in the NFL. He’s spent his entire
life proving to the critics that a small guy with a big heart can
succeed against all odds. After spraining his ankle in the
pre-season, Martin thinks his dream is lost when he happens to meet
a very special coach who shares eleven life-changing lessons that
keep his dream alive–and might even make him the best of the
best. If you want to be your best–Training Camp offers
an inspirational story and real-world wisdom on what it takes to
reach true excellence and how you and your team (your work team,
school team, church team and family team) can achieve it.
