‘Captures the wisdom and inspirational spirit of some of the world's best athletes, leaders and thinkers. A formula for living a successful and meaningful life... for anyone aspiring to achieve and fulfill their dreams.'

Ike Bain
Author, The Dick Smith Way

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘Jacques writes much about progressing from the good to the great and finally to awesome … Work out how high you want your mountain to be. Have a passion and irrespective of the pain that will invariably be involved (my experience being that nothing worth achieving comes easily), set out on the process to get to the top … But importantly, stop at the top and enjoy the view. In this fast-moving world we are all too quick and sometimes ignore the view.'

Nick Farr-Jones
Captain of Wallabies World Cup winning team 1991. Director of Société Générale Australia

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘A particular note of thanks must go to Jacques van Schalkwyk, who used his expertise and vast experience to help [the crew] prepare mentally for their races … He employed some very simple and highly effective techniques to get [the crew] focused on the task at hand. No better evidence can be found than the crew's achievement at the Nationals.'

Garry Uebergang Coach, Australian Schoolboy Eight Rowing Champions 2002

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘On a weekly basis throughout the season Dr Jacques van Schalkwyk … held a thirty minute session with [the crew], the purpose of which was to set goals and develop the right mindset to successfully achieve them. His softly spoken delivery belied a very focused and disciplined philosophy that Jacques imbued in [the crew], helping them in their mental preparation enormously.'

Nick Lloyd
Coach, Australian Schoolboy Eight Rowing Champions 2003

 

 

 

 

 

 


'One could not help but be struck by the similarities of the business model Flight Centre attributes to its success, and the model for accelerated human and business performance contained in Jacques's book — On Track to the Top'.

Co-founder of Flight Centre
