The gamespeed system provides a progressive structure via which movements are developed, honed, and then assembled into quality-movement patterns that transfer directly to enhanced sports performance. These developments are based on the latest research from the domains of neurology and skill acquisition, ensuring that the optimal conditions for skill enhancement are provided. Throughout this book, the objective, at all times, is to make the athlete a better on-field player, and not simply help him to perform drills and tests more effectively. To this end, the gamespeed system addresses key aspects of performance not covered within the majority of speed and agility systems such as perception and cognitive processing, ensuring that the athlete is optimally prepared to perform in their sport. In short, Gamespeed provides athletes and coaches with a system that maximizes performance in all sports, and is the future of movement training. It will not only provide athletes with increased speed and agility, but, more importantly, with the ability to use these tools effectively in each and every game. Chapter 1: What Is Gamespeed?

The visionary CEO of Zappos explains how an emphasis on corporate culture can lead to unprecedented success. Pay new employees $2000 to quit. Make customer service the entire company, not just a department. Focus on company culture as the #1 priority. Apply research from the science of happiness to running a business. Help employees grow both personally and professionally. Seek to change the world. Oh, and make money too. Sound crazy? It's all standard operating procedure at Zappos.com, the online retailer that's doing over $1 billion in gross merchandise sales every year. In 1999, Tony Hsieh (pronounced Shay) sold LinkExchange, the company he co-founded, to Microsoft for $265 million. He then joined Zappos as an adviser and investor, and eventually became CEO. In 2009, Zappos was listed as one of Fortune magazine's top 25 companies to work for, and was acquired by Amazon later that year in a deal valued at over $1.2 billion on the day of closing. In his first book, Tony shares the different business lessons he learned in life, from a lemonade stand and pizza business through LinkExchange, Zappos, and more. Ultimately, he shows how using happiness as a framework can produce profits, passion, and purpose both in business and in life. (edited by author)
