Across trails, through mud, and up mountainsides, Spartan Race was born. De Sena gives you a life strategy guide that takes you out of your comfort zone and into a combat zone. As he breaks down obstacles from his many races, detailing how each parallels real life experiences, you will learn how to: conquer your greatest obstacle -- your will. Embrace your greatest friend -- discipline. Make limitations vanish and establish a new normal. Achieve the ultimate: obstacle immunity. Other events breed sheep; Spartan Race breeds wolves. Spartan Up! will help anyone reach their full potential -- in life, business, relationships, indeed anything one sets out to do.
