Job loss. Foreclosure. Relationship woes. Health issues. Dire financial straits. If recent history has trained us anything, it's that no person undergoes life unscathed-no subject how rich, how smart, how talented, or how lucky they may be. White training collar, blue training collar, or no training collar, there is an undeniable commonality to the fresh emotion that strikes people when they are knocked down. School of Kentucky basketball instructor John Calipari has seen the bottom - from two very distinct and very public setbacks-but he has found that bad situations are just long term if you permit them to be. Fired from his job as head coach 20 game titles into his third season with the NBA's New Jersey Nets in 1999, Calipari was publicly humiliated and emotionally devastated. But Calipari never allowed the negative to beat him or those around him, and he began plotting a course for his first jump back. It had been a quest that took him to the School of Memphis and, in 2008, to the NCAA's marquee event, the men's basketball Last Four. When that trip culminated in a crushing, overtime defeat in the subject game, Calipari began to bounce back again again-this time armed with the knowledge and fortitude he gained in overcoming the Nets' firing. Twelve months after that defeat, from where he watched his team lose a nine-point lead with two minutes and twelve moments left in rules, Calipari was tabbed as the head coach of college basketball's all-time winningest program, the School of Kentucky Wildcats. In ten years, he went from his lowest low to getting his dream job at a dream program. What Mentor Cal -as players, peers, and followers affectionately call him - discovered from his encounters was the value of having the winning attitude when working with life's major impediments: with every hard knock comes a celebration to reevaluate and reinvent. Now Mentor Cal asks that you join his team of Jump Backers and allow him the privilege of coaching you through what may, sometimes, appear to be an insurmountable challenge. With a combination of difficult love and understanding, Mentor Cal goes under his wing in quite similar fashion he guides the young men who play for him. By becoming an active participant within your own resurrection-through practice exercises and tips from Mentor Cal and his deep bench of highly successful individuals who have survived their own jump backs-you too will gain the tools and insight to comprehend that it's never a subject of how far you have fallen, but instead it's about how precisely high you jump back.
