The Right Call: What Sports Teach Us About Work and Life

Sally Jenkins and moderated by the Wall Street Journal’s Jason Gay

Jun 6, 2023


How do elite athletes and star coaches bring their “A game” to every practice and game, not just once or twice, but day after day? What are the qualities that allow them to overcome pressure, elevate their performance, and achieve mastery? And how can we harness these qualities to become champions in our own lives?

Join Spark Your Health for a riveting discussion with New York Times bestselling author, Sally Jenkins, and moderated by Jason Gay of the Wall Street Journal. Diving into inspiration and anecdotes from Sally Jenkin’s newest book, The Right Call: What Sports Teach Us About Work and Life, guests can expect to learn about the commonly shared principles of great athletes and coaches which underlie great decision-making.

Expect to learn several of the seven principles of great decision making, how Peyton Manning’s meticulous study of his worst moments set him up for success, antics for motivating others in your life, why quiet strength sometimes prevails, and how to develop the persistence to continue trying after failed attempts.
