Leadership & Endurance Skills from Polar Explorers

Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen trekked across Antarctica for nearly three months in 2000. They learned a lot of lessons about solitude, humor and making their goals, not to mention physical endurance.

This video takes us through their training, their trek and offers advice on how we can all reach our peak performance in sports and life.

Also, there's a special section on Sir Ernest Shackleton and the leadership skills he possessed to save his crew. Shackleton and his men were shipwrecked and survived the hazards of the South Pole without losing one person. This video originally aired on PBS.
