Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
The eight elements of Cal Ripken Jr.’s style perseverance are:
“On September 6, 1995, I had broken the major league baseball record for consecutive games played. On that day, I’d played in my 2, 131st straight ball game. My streak would eventually end on September 20, 1998 after I had played in 2,632 consecutive games. The man who held the record before me, Henry Louis Gehrig, was more than just a baseball player. He was an American icon, a legend. Lou Gehrig and I shared a connection that goes back to old-school values and principles about going to work every day and hanging in there when the going gets tough. It’s the basic belief of simply rolling up your sleeves and doing the job to the best of your ability. Ideals such as these harken back to a time when baseball was just a game.”
– Cal Ripken Jr.

Summary of Get In The Game (Cal Ripken Jr. with Donald Phillips)
1. The Right Values
No matter what you attempt to do, having the right values lays a solid foundation for success. Commit to excellence, to doing what’s required and giving your all.
In order to be successful in anything, you have to start by having the right values in place. This is the only way you will be able to hang in there when the inevitable problems crop up along the way. When you have the right values in place, you’ll form and apply good habits and productive routines.
The three essential components of a good personal value system are:
Hard work – which is more of a mental attitude than a physical characteristic. Cal Ripken learned how to work hard from his father who always taught: “If you didn’t want to work, you shouldn’t have hired out. Don’t just talk about it, do it!”. He also drew inspiration from the example of Lou Gehrig who played 2,130 consecutive games of baseball for the New York Yankees. Lou Gehrig had previously credited his success with three maxims: Strive and succeed.Early to bed, early to rise.Labor conquers everything.Commitment to excellence – which is based on building good habits. Excellence simply means you complete tasks to the best possible quality and standard of professionalism. It doesn’t really matter whether you are doing something of earth shattering importance or a routine task which is done every day. If you’re committed fully and completely to excellence, you will do that job well. And once you get into the habit of doing everything to a high standard, you’ll find your career will really go places.Honesty and integrity
