About the Book

Top Gun Performance can help readers learn to achieve happiness, success, and health in school, sports, work, and life. Ted Carter, a Top Gun graduate, and Jack Stark, a performance psychologist and psychotherapist, have observed, commanded, and treated the behaviors of thousands of individuals. Both understand the need to pursue a specific lifestyle to perform at the very top. Both are tuned in to what people want out of life, what is getting in their way, and what they can do to overcome the mental and physical obstacles keeping them from achieving a Top Gun performance in all areas of their lives.

Carter and Stark use their personal and professional histories to teach readers the psychological and mental performance tools they can use on a daily basis to meet the challenges they face. The authors share behind-the-scenes stories, techniques, and analysis to provide readers with a blueprint for building their own exceptional performance. Reviewing their careers in helping other people obtain successful outcomes, Carter and Stark offer a program readers can use in their own lives.

Review :
“I’ve known Ted Carter as a driven midshipman with an awesome sense of humor, an exceptional F-14 radar intercept officer and airborne tactician, and a leader without peer during his time as the superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy. Top Gun Performance deftly captures his unique experiences and translates them into actionable guidance for individuals or organizations looking to achieve their best. Add Jack Stark’s inputs and you have a one-of-a-kind book with amazing takeaways on every page.”-Ward Carroll, veteran F-14 Tomcat radar intercept officer, military commentator, and author of the Punk’s Trilogy “Ted Carter is an accomplished naval flight officer who holds our navy’s carrier aviation record for most carrier arrested landings. His life lessons are invaluable, having led the U.S. Naval Academy and now leading as the president of Ohio State University. He is a wonderful and gifted leader!”-John Dalton, seventieth secretary of the U.S. Navy and author of At the Helm “Our Nebraska football team had been winning many games in the early 1990s, but it seemed that something was missing. I contacted Jack Stark and he recommended several things which were helpful in building team unity and a stronger culture. He also spent time with individual athletes who were working through various issues, and he was able to get them on a more constructive path. Stark is very innovative, and his advice can help almost any individual or organization get to a higher level of proficiency.”-Tom Osborne, former Husker head football coach, University of Nebraska athletic director, and U.S. congressman
