Resumen del Editor

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.

Trust the process

I really love Bergeron’s approach to life and this book lays it out succinctly and engagingly as told through the lens of the 2016 crossfit games. I will listen to this many more times when I need a reminder to trust the process and focus on excellence. Awesome book!

Awesome read for any athlete

I loved reading this book in fact I listened to it the
whole way through multiple times. I’m a competitive boxer and I found The message in this book to be powerful and inspiring. I think any athlete should take seriously the mindset that Bergeron talks about.
Loved it! Nothing wrong with the narration.

Great book on “The Process”

Ben does a great job keeping the reader’s attention from start to finish! Great job!

Best book so far!

Great book, I enjoyed every single chapter, and learn more than what I was expecting from it. Thank you.

One of the best books on mindset

It is very simple. Don't compare yourself to others and do not focus on the results. Commit to being your absolute best daily and over time you will become the best version of yourself which is all you can hope for. Thankful he wrote this book!

Amazing Read

I probably listen to this book once a month. It’s a gut check for chasing excellence in my fitness journey, in my coaching journey, in my work journey, and even in my mom and wife journey. If you don’t listen to this book and fall in love with the grind all over again I’ll call you a liar! Love having this audiobook to remind me to put in the work, every single day.

Great content and very motivating

If you could sum up Chasing Excellence: A Story About Building the World's Fittest Athletes in three words, what would they be?

Chasing Excellence is all about the journey that Ben Bergeron went on to take on three of the most elite athletes in all of CrossFit. Ben coached them up to be the best and reminded them, constantly, that they had it within them all along, but it required discipline.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Character? I suppose hearing about Katrin's obstacles that she had to overcome gave real personality to her "character".

What about Ben Bergeron’s performance did you like?

I loved that he read the book himself, since he wrote it himself.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Control the controllable and let the uncontrollable go

Any additional comments?

Ben reads it like he writes it, so he's not quite Shakespeare. However, even though simply written and read as a run-on sentence at times, Ben lived this and by sharing his story, he'll motivate millions.

Powerful!

This was an extremely powerful and inspirational book!i don’t like to read books, and I rarely listen to audio books, however, this book I listened to twice in two weeks!! That has to tell you something.

fault revealing and mental growth

This book needs to be read or heard by everyone for growth. From the moment it began, it slightly demands a focus that is natural. it then proceeds to tell you the truth to clarity and success while showing you what you are lacking. I loved it!

you won't be ready for what this will do to your athletic edge, get after it!
