Mark Bender on High Performance

 Mark Bender, a former  CAS3 Instructor and War College graduate, has been published by the Combat  Studies Institute.  His study on how Eisenhower succeeded in graduating  first in his class at Command and Staff College landed  him a gig as a subject matter expert on A&E’s Biography. 

“I  consider  myself a student of high performance,” says  Bender, “what Eisenhower accomplished was phenomenal, but few people  realize the pivotal role sports played early in his career.   Ike was a perfect example of the soldier-athlete, one who parlayed that  experience as an educator at Columbia University and later  as President of the United States.
