Just then he happens to meet a very special coach who shares nine life-changing lessons that keep Martin's dream alive...and might even make him the best of the best.

For anyone who wants to make it to the top of their field, Training Camp is a practical life-changing story with simple wisdom about what true excellence requires-and how anyone can achieve it.
