Summary
CrossFit trainer Ben Bergeron has helped build the world's fittest athletes, but he's not like other coaches. He believes that greatness is not for the elite few; that winning is a result, not a goal; and that character, not talent, is what makes a true champion. His powerful philosophy can help anyone excel at all aspects of life.
Using the dramatic competition between the top contenders at the 2016 Reebok CrossFit Games® as a background, Ben explores the step-by-step process of achieving excellence and the unique set of positive character traits necessary for leveling up to world-class. The mindset and methodology that have produced some of the greatest athletes in the world's most grueling sport can work equally well for golfers, lawyers, artists, entrepreneurs - anyone who's willing to commit totally to becoming better than the best.
By Chasing Excellence, you'll discover how extraordinary it's possible for you to be.

I wasn’t expecting such a great lesson!
I took a punt on this book. I wanted to get into the mind of top performers. What I got from this book was an actionable plan to train my mind. I thoroughly recommend this book to everyone that feels that they may be lacking in any area of their life. By doing the 1% improvements you can shift the needle of change radically.

Excellent
Only half way through, but loving it so far!
Using a wide variety of examples helps the reader relate back to their life. Taking the reader through events of the 16 games puts a nice twist on things too. But then again as an aspiring crossfit athlete I was always going to like that!
Keep up the good work!

A Journey of Self-Discovery🤩
"Chasing Excellence" is a remarkable audiobook that brings you face to face with the areas in your life that require improvement. What I truly appreciate about this book is its ability to challenge the listener to confront their own shortcomings and work towards becoming a better version of themselves. After all, that's what a good book should do.

Exactly what I had hoped for - Excellent!
This was the perfect length with brilliant mindset advice interwoven with the gripping story of the athletes training and progress at the CrossFit Games. If you apply the simple wisdom contained by sticking to the Process within you will gain success in any field. As the author says, success is a decision not a goal.

interesting for a CrossFitter
I enjoyed this audio book but found it quite 1 dimensional. Ben talks heavily about Katrin but could have used other Athletes to have proven his point a bit more. All round, a decent little. especially if you've been in the CrossFit community for the last 6+ years.

Burgeron up his own backside
Not much to gain from this book apart from don’t get carried away when you’re winning and don’t get downhearted when you lose. Only focus on what you can control and try as hard as possible. Blows his own trumpet throughout
