Martial artists, great warriors, coaches, generals, and successful corporate CEOs effectively use the strategies for winning found in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Authors Jerry Lynch and Chungliang Al Huang, using lessons from the The Art of War, as well as other ancient Taoist books such as the I Ching and Tao Te Ching, teach readers to develop the capacities and qualities that make a champion-such as high self-esteem, courage, fortitude, determination, perseverance, tenacity, self-awareness, integrity, the ability to take risks, and the ability to learn from failure. The emphasis on self-awareness, tactical positioning, and strategic advantage means that practitioners win through inner growth and self-improvement-giving them a universal competitive edge.

This review is from: The Way of the Champion: Lessons from Sun Tzu's The art of War and other Tao Wisdom for Sports & life (Paperback)
Finest sports book I've read in almost 50 years from the standpoint of a book which personally involves you on every page. A fascinating book written simply but with great thoughtfulness. We bought one for each of our high school basketball players. They can use it for every aspect of their lives. Sincerely,

This review is from: The Way of the Champion: Lessons from Sun Tzu's The art of War and other Tao Wisdom for Sports & life (Paperback)
I've previously listened to and read Sun Tzu's "Art of War" and tried to make the principles and philosophies apply to my life and martial arts training. However, "The Way of the Champion" does all of this for you. It is well written which makes it an easy read. There are lots of examples of how the lessons in the book were used and applied to other athletes with positive results. I recently hit a mental road block in my martial arts training, and this book is helping me to achieve a winning state of mind for martial arts, work, and life.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Way of the Champion: Lessons from Sun Tzu's The art of War and other Tao Wisdom for Sports & life (Paperback)
This book has a lot of simple concepts and quick phrases / questions that can be used with youth teams to help them develop mental toughness and perspective as to how to improve themselves. As a youth coach, I found these concepts easy to adapt and apply in quick, three minute sessions before and after each practice.
