The Sports Librarian's Best of 2022 - Sports Books

Sustain Your Game is built upon a simple premise: each of us will always be under construction, a work in progress, and constantly evolving. The goal is to be moving toward our highest potential, toward making a meaningful contribution, and toward becoming the best version of ourselves.

Based on his years as a successful basketball performance coach--having worked with and alongside superstars like Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant--and a keynote speaker to major companies like Pepsi and Amex, Alan Stein Jr. brings you the keys to lasting, unimaginable success. The secret? Sustain Your Game teaches a timeline of short term to medium term to long term because we are always battling all three: stress in the now, stagnation in the present, and burnout in the long term.

Part I--PERFORM is about managing stress in the day-to-day (short term)
Part II--PIVOT is about avoiding stagnation in your current situation (medium term)
Part III--PREVAIL is about beating burnout and making a lasting impact (long term)

This book is for high performers who want to learn practical strategies and action steps on how to sustain their game across all three timelines. It assembles invaluable advice and lessons from successful athletes, entrepreneurs, social scientists, journalists, CEOs, motivational speakers, business coaches, and consultants, as well as Alan's own personal stories.
