Description
Drawing on more than a half century in professional sports, as well as decades as a motivational speaker, Pat Williams has spent a lifetime researching what it takes to be a winner. What he has observed and recorded in this magnum opus on the topic is that all winners--whether in sports, business or everyday life--share 12 characteristics, and they do them to an extreme. Through exhaustive research, Williams discovered that winning has a broader meaning than a mark on a ledger after a competition. In fact, it doesn't even mean someone has to lose. Winning is the way you approach what you do. It's a mindset; a way of life. It can be your life, a life of Extreme Winning.
A Note From the Publisher
Anybody can live life when things are going well; the real test comes when adversity strikes and setbacks nail you. When that happens, how are you going to respond?' Special Media
Advance Praise
This superbly written book is packed with gems, one after another, each one seemingly brighter than the one before. I know it's a cliché to say I couldn't put it down, but I couldn't. Invest five minutes in it and before you know it an hour will have gone by. And when you finish the book, you'll find yourself wishing there were 14, 15 or 16 keys to winning, instead of 12.

I don’t usually buy into motivational-type books, for I believe each team and each individual needs separate motivation, and it is my job to figure what that is. However, by about page three of EXTREME WINNING, I had my highlighter out and was taking notes. This book will help me today, tomorrow and the rest of my career.
