What if the key to greatness isn’t brushing things off, but taking them personal? Take It Personal: The Jordan Mindset for Winning Where It Matters pulls back the curtain on the psychology that fueled Michael Jordan’s competitive fire and shows you how to use those same principles in your own life. This is not a basketball book. It’s a playbook for anyone who wants to turn rejection into resilience, pressure into preparation, and ordinary effort into extraordinary results. Growing up in Chicago during Jordan’s rise, author Wilson Kilpatrick saw firsthand the intensity and standard that made Jordan unforgettable. Blending those lessons with insights from psychology and leadership, this book translates Jordan’s mindset into everyday moves for students, leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone chasing excellence. Inside you’ll discover: Why rejection is not an ending but the beginning of preparation. - How to channel emotion into fuel instead of faking calm. - The hidden power of details, pressure, and presence. - What it really costs to win and why the price is worth it. - Practical steps at the end of each chapter to put the mindset into action. Whether you’re building a business, leading a team, creating art, or simply refusing to settle, this book will help you train like you were told no, obsess over the details, make life a game, and take over when it matters. Greatness isn’t an accident. It’s a mindset. And it’s time to take it personal.
