Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Pep Talk is a sports story-with solid business applications-about an underdog football team defeating a formidable opponent. Typically, a novelette of this type peaks at the end of the game, but it's in the pep talk where the real story begins.
A stranger convinces the coach of a team with a 24-game losing streak to allow him to give a pep talk before they go up against a winning team. The underdog team is victorious because of the influence of this stranger. The pep talk and the actual game are intriguing, but the real story begins 29 years later when the coach, suffering from a brain tumor, discovers the stranger had prophesized specific events that occurred in the ensuing game. Is there a logical explanation? Is there a spiritual explanation? The answers to these questions capture the reader's attention to the very end.

Dr. Kevin Elko and Bob Shook will become household names with this book. The message is simple and the implementation is easier. The Pep Talk like Suzann's Diary for Nicholas, The One Minute Manager and Raving Fans have the ingredients to give the reader a better perspective for every aspect of your life. It is a one sitting read that will make you feel good, look at every underdog and give them a chance and encourage you to accomplish your subsequent endeavor no matter how outrageaous.
It is also a book that you will want to share with family and friends young and old.

I have been a fan of Dr. Elko for many years and have seen him present dozens of times and his work always helps me understand what's important and how I can make my life more fulfilling. I am amazed at the way Dr. Elko and Robert Shook have taken the various principles and components of Dr. Elko's core message and masterfully constructed a storyline that really makes "The Pep Talk" a must read. The book shows how a single person or message can not only inspire you at that moment, but also have a profound impact on the way you live your life and the level of sucess you achieve! Great book and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I picked up The Pep Talk, intending to read it on vacation. But I took a peek and couldn't put it down. Its a riveting story, well told, and it gets across its inspirational message without spoiling a darn good tale. Even if one isn't a sports fan, its impossible not to get involved with the high school team that never won a game until it got 'the Pep Talk.'

I have just finished reading "The Pep Talk"...for the second time. I have heard Dr. Elko speak on numerous occassions to athletes and could sit and listen to him for hours. After reading his very first book, "Nerves of Steel" I knew The Pep Talk would be great and I am not disappointed. The authors way of getting his message across is extremely effective. He speaks in terms that make clear and concise sense as well as humerous but memorable anecdotes. He will teach you to think differently which will cause you to act differently which affects everyone around you. Whether you are a high level athlete, a CEO or a stay at home parent this book will touch you, teach you and motivate you. Dr. Elko speaks of having a vision, and how to attain that vision and to maintain that vision. In today's society negativity is too prevelant, you will not allow yourself to get caught up in it if you heed the advice presented. I have given my copy to my wife and when I get it back I will read it again. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve ANY aspect of their life or those around you.

I heard Dr. Kevin Elko speak last winter and I can tell you it was one of the best hour that I have spent in a long time. So, I anxiously awaited my copy of his new book "The Pep Talk" to arrive at my door. Well, 10 days ago the UPS man finally showed up at my house with a small package. I opened it up and my very first impression was "...boy is this book small there can't be much to this book...". I set it aside for a few days and took it with me on a business trip to Florida last week. On the plane ride, I was trying to do work on my laptop but the man in front of me decided to recline his seat and working on the computer became impossible. So with much effort I put the laptop away and took the book out of my briefcase and began to read. Well, once I started reading it I could not put the book down. I loved it, loved the message and loved how well written it is! It's wonderful, congratulations to the authors!! I even re-read their fictional character Mr. Christopher's Pep Talk section of the book again, and I enjoyed it as much as I did the very first time through. So I proved you can't judge a book by it's cover, or in this case by it's size, it's great. I was so excited after I reading it that my wife Laura wants to read it next. Dr. Elko and Mr. Shook have to do another book together!
