Corporate Warrior: Fitness and Lifestyle Design from the Battlefield to the Boardroom

Description

Fitness wins, not only on the battlefield but on the trading floor and in the boardroom. Re-discover your full potential with this insightful and inspiring new book by Major Sam McGrath. This book empowers the corporate warrior in you to achieve optimal health, performance and balance in your life. Fitness is the means and metaphor for achieving this. It aims to reform your life, with health, fitness and your family's wellbeing at its core. Using his experience of 17 years fighting within elite military units during the war on terror, and more recently on the front line of investment banking in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, Major McGrath shows you how the pursuit and maintenance of a high level of physical fitness can overhaul your life for the long term, and helps you achieve life-changing results.

Sam McGrath was the youngest soldier to achieve the rank of major since the Second World War and ran the selection course for the crack Parachute Regiment for three years. While still a serving soldier he completed the Bob Graham Round for the Help for Heroes charity - an endurance challenge climbing 42 peaks in the Lake District with a combined vertical ascent of 27,000ft over 72 miles - and all in 24 hours. At the age of 31 he left the Parachute Regiment and joined an investment bank on their MBA graduate programme. He now works as an investment banker in Singapore combining a high-profile and demanding job with family life and several fitness challenges.
