First published 2017
Donald Driver dominated NFL fields as a record-breaking wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers before hanging up his cleats in 2012. After winning Dancing with the Stars and penning his bestselling memoir Driven, the retired athlete faced an unexpected challenge. His post-retirement break from intense training left him feeling sluggish and dissatisfied. Driver committed to reclaiming peak physical condition and discovered his calling as a trainer for both professional athletes and everyday fitness seekers at his Dallas facility, Driven Elite Fitness and Health Center. His method centers on three core principles: determination for weight-loss nutrition, discipline for high-intensity muscle-building routines, and drive to reach personal excellence. The program adapts to any fitness starting point through three progressive levels, each with specific nutritional guidance and motivational strategies. Driver shares behind-the-scenes stories from his playing days while demonstrating his approach through detailed exercise photography and clean eating recipes tailored to different caloric requirements.
