Game Plan: A Proven Approach to Work, Live, and Play at the Highest Level Possible--For as Long as Possible

From the professional trainer and personal fitness guru to LeBron James and other superstar athletes, a blueprint to achieving peak physical and psychological performance--and sustaining it for the long haul. With a foreword by LeBron.

Mike Mancias has spent two decades developing and refining a winning blueprint for athletic excellence. He's worked with countless professional athletes, sports franchises, and the US Olympic Program. And his methods have propelled the rise of LeBron James, arguably the fittest, best-trained human being on planet earth. In Game Plan, he shares those secrets with the rest of us.

Over the course of three parts--the first focused on nutrition ("Eat with performance first and foremost in your mind"), the second on physical training ("We find the best ways to keep the body in constant motion"), and the third on recovery ("Recovery doesn't start after performance but during performance")--Mancias guides readers on their own journey to tiptop performance.

Revelations include the precise time to eat before an athletic pursuit, the hidden pitfalls of stretching, the right temperature for sleeping, therapeutic breathing techniques to turn off stress, and why naps are not just for babies. Throughout, Mancias makes the case that excellence must begin with the mind before it can manifest in the body--and shows you how to cultivate it.

In the vein of Tom Brady's The TB12 Method and Tim Grover's Relentless, Game Plan offers an actionable, holistic, and comprehensive roadmap to peak performance.
