Loaded With Practical Ready-To-Apply Information
How do you succeed at your highest possible level? Dr. Jeffrey Spencer is a former Olympian, a team member for eight Tours de France, chiropractor and Life Coach. This book is easy to read and loaded with information that anyone can apply to their life.
I love what he writes in the introduction, "We all have the raw human resources to become successful. The secret to a passionate, productive, purposeful, and prosperous life is to identify and refine our talents into highly productive assets enabling us to conceive of and parlay our efforts into goals accomplished. Successful people know that talent and will aren't enough, so they focus their time and effort on honing their skills sufficiently to manifest their aspirations and then place them within well-constructed plans."

I appreciated the contents of this title, the organization and practical nature of it. Throughout my reading, I used my highlighter often. I highly recommend it.

The advice and motivation can be applied to many avenues of life
Top of the line performance isn't something restricted solely to Olympic athletes. "Turn It Up!: How to Perform At Your Highest Level For a Lifetime" is a guide to being the best one can be. Although written by a former Olympian and athlete, the principles outlined in the book are not strictly for athletes; the advice and motivation can be applied to many avenues of life. For business, creativity, any avenue, "Turn it Up!" is an inspirational must for any reader.

Little Lessons
I like Mr. Spencer's book, but wish it was organized a bit differently. The information is unique in places, and not so unique in others, but is not organized in such a way as to allow the reader to really stop and use it. In places there are instructions on steps to take, but not throughout. If you haven't read sports-performance books in the past, or self-help books, this one may help you. Otherwise - Physician, Know Thyself!

Bravo for Turn It Up!
Finally Dr. Spencer details his secrets for all to learn from! I've followed Dr. Spencer's career for the last ten years. He is the master coach. I have seen the athletes he works with become champions. This book details what he does that moves the ordinary to extraordinary. I learned that this is a process, not an accident. Dr Spencer took great care to make it practicle and appliable and I could immediately get his concept and then apply it to my life. I know that anyone with dreams and a good work ethic can apply these steps and improve their life. I did!
I recommend this highly.
