Jon Gordon’s Post

Blast from the past! "We're still on the bus," Richt replied. Richt's "bus" wasn't yellow or silver or four-wheeled; it was a metaphor for his plan for a successful season, adapted from Gordon's motivational book, "The Energy Bus." Richt had heard about the bus from Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith, who had brought it with him from the Jacksonville Jaguars three years ago. Other pro and college coaches, including at Georgia Tech, have used it as well. Today, after nine consecutive wins, Richt says the book was one tool that unified the Bulldogs and kept them moving together despite adversity. For the Falcons, the book helped Smith rebuild the shambles left from the Bobby Petrino-Michael Vick fiascoes. Amid such distractions, the book helps refocus athletes, said Tech A-backs coach Lamar Owens. "Things go on around you, but you control how you see them," he said.

If you kind of have some higher energy, then the people around you will have energy, which in turn will pick you up and make you feel even better." Gordon, a former Atlantan who earned his masters degree at Emory University, didn't exactly expect sports teams to boost his title up the list of Wall Street Journal bestsellers. Nor did he think he was coining a catchphrase when he called pessimistic teammates "energy vampires," a term the Bulldogs, Falcons and other athletes now drop into conversation. "I was out for a simple approach to deal with a big problem - negativity," Gordon said while in town last month at the Business Growth Expo. "Telling someone they are an 'energy vampire' put a name with the problem." In 2007, Gordon published "The Energy Bus: 10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work and Team with Positive Energy
