This is the official companion workbook to Make the Leap: Think Better, Train Better, Run Faster.

For those whoÕve read the book, this workbook provides a hands-on tool to help you apply everything we learned. For those who havenÕt, no worries! It was made to exist independently. So while it lacks many of the stories, data, diagrams, and detailed explanations you get in the book, it still provides a concise overview of all the key points!

Make the Leap is centered around one key idea: Think better, train better. What most athletes lack is a mental framework for thinking about their training. Make the Leap provides this framework in the form of 11 Optimal Training Principles and 4 mental model Spotlights. This workbook includes a one-page summary of each chapter and spotlight, with tactical questions to help you turn the concepts into Next Step goals you can build into your training today.

This workbook is ideal for:

Coaches

Whether or not you ask your athletes to read the book, itÕs critical that you talk about these topics. If all of your athletes have this workbook, it will allow you to systematically build these concepts into your program. And if your athletes canÕt get the workbook individually, IÕve designed it to be easy to print, one chapter summary at a time!

Athletes

You want to get the most out of your training. And IÕm sure you gained tons of ideas from the book. But itÕs critical that you think about and write down exactly what you plan to do to get better. This workbook will help you engage better, take more responsibility, and make your new Systems, Next Step goals, and Purposeful Practice strategies concrete.

Parents

ItÕs tough to connect with your kids about what they are going through. ItÕs critical that you adopt a shared language and framework, or else youÕll simply talk right past each other. Whether you read the book or not, this workbook will ensure you both have enough of an understanding to have productive conversations about each of the key principles.

Regardless of your experience or role in training, this workbook will give you the tools to think better, train better, and then...Make the Leap!
