Top Gun Performance can help readers learn to achieve happiness, success, and health in school, sports, work, and life. Ted Carter, a Top Gun graduate, and Jack Stark, a performance psychologist and psychotherapist, have observed, commanded, and treated the behaviors of thousands of individuals. Both understand the need to pursue a specific lifestyle to perform at the very top. Both are tuned in to what people want out of life, what is getting in their way, and what they can do to overcome the mental and physical obstacles keeping them from achieving a Top Gun performance in all areas of their lives.
Carter and Stark use their personal and professional histories to teach readers the psychological and mental performance tools they can use on a daily basis to meet the challenges they face. The authors share behind-the-scenes stories, techniques, and analysis to provide readers with a blueprint for building their own exceptional performance. Reviewing their careers in helping other people obtain successful outcomes, Carter and Stark offer a program readers can use in their own lives.
