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 skydivers 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 learnedโ€”as a competitor, coach, business owner, father, and husbandโ€”to help others achieve their dreams, overcome obstacles, and reach their peak performance.

Above All Else is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, filled with inspirational insights that motivate readers to push themselves beyond their perceived limits.
