Amazon page: http://www.amazon.com/Above-All-Else-Skydivers-Adversity/dp/…World famous competitive skydiver and coach Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld presents proven tools and techniques for success and explains how they can be used in everyday life. Dan survived a plane crash from which sixteen of the twenty-two people on board were killed. He was left critically injured and woke up from a six-week-long coma with a broken neck, broken skull, severe head trauma, a collapsed lung, and other serious internal injuries. Against all odds, Dan recovered and went on to become one of the greatest competitive skydiver in the world. With the love and support of friends and family, Dan was able not only to resurrect his life but return to skydiving to achieve greater heights than he could have ever imagined. His techniques and methods for excelling are applicable to all people, no matter their goals. Dan uses his experiences to teach the lessons he’s learned–as a competitor, coach, business owner, father, and husband–to help others achieve their dreams, overcome obstacles, and reach their peak performance.Table of ContentsPart I Above all Else 11 Waking Up 32 Following Your Dreams 133 It All Starts at the Beginning 154 Finding My Passion 215 Growing Up 256 Another Passion 297 Defining Spirituality 338 The Process of Pursuing a Dream 379 It’s a Sport?
