What got you here won't get you there—and what gets you there won't keep you there. From eight slanted tennis courts in an empty field to two NCAA championships and a perennial top-five program, Matt Knoll built one of college sports' most improbable dynasties. But his greatest discovery wasn't about winning. It was about evolution. The leadership that builds a program from nothing will destroy it at the championship level. The intensity that creates breakthroughs will sabotage sustained excellence. In Rise. Rule. Repeat. , Knoll reveals the counterintuitive truth that derails most leaders: your greatest strengths become your fatal flaws if you don't evolve. THE THREE-PHASE FRAMEWORK RISE: Building belief from zero when no one knows your name. Learn how to create resources from relationships, recruit A-players when you have nothing to offer, and project identity before achievement. RULE: Breaking through from good to great when the stakes escalate. Discover how to manage elite talent, link individual goals to team vision, and avoid the pressure traps that sabotage performance. REPEAT: Sustaining excellence when success breeds complacency. Master the art of process over outcome, fight the comfort trap, and evolve your leadership before circumstances force you to.
