60. Book Review: Chasing Excellence

Welcome to Episode 60 - Book Review: Chasing Excellence

This week I'm diving into another book review following a plug from one of my earliest guests on the podcast. 

In episode 17, I interviewed fellow Social Worker Anthony Simons about exercise based therapy. At the end of the episode, Anthony plugged Chasing Excellence by Ben Bergeron. Anthony recommended it because (a) it was a good read, but (b) it linked mental wellbeing with exercise. 

So that same day I bought it, and whilst it took me awhile to read through it (#slowreader) I'm glad I did!

The book follows Ben as he coaches some of the world's fittest athletes to win the CrossFit Games. But it's not just about reps. Its also about mindset, and how the right mindset can help people of all walks of life to strive for excellence.
