Description
Given that Rod has reached the top in different codes and in different countries tells us he knows a thing or two about pursuing - and reaching - excellence. By bringing his experiences through sport, business and coaching together, he has given me many ideas in how to mentor the ordinary (including me!) to achieve the extraordinary. Not just useful for sport but for life in general, Rod's ideas will help me and those I work with strive to reach our potential.--Jeremy White, Year 13 Dean, King's High School, Dunedin Former Third Grade off-spin bowler Rod Bannister knows how much energy and effort excellence requires. An accomplished athlete across multiple sporting codes, he understands that if high performance is your goal, nothing can be left to chance. The bite size chapters are easy to read, accessible for the non-expert, and highly engaging. His explanations of how to maximise one's potential are backed up by case studies based on his own experience, along with practical tips and tricks picked up along the way from fellow athletes committed to realising their potential. I know I'll be using some of Rod's guidance in my own work as a mentor.--Dr. Damien Gibson, Academic Dean
