It's a book full of insights that you can learn and use the next morning - in the office, the classroom, or wherever your quest takes you - told not in abstractions, but through case studies and stories drawn from Rotella's years teaching sports psychology, counseling athletes, and consulting for Fortune 500 companies. It explores how to keep the mind from holding you back, whatever your physical gifts or other talents. It's about how to make a commitment, how to persevere, how to deal with failure - and how to train your mind to create a self-image that promotes confidence and accomplishment.

Any successful life starts with how you see yourself. And with these pearls of wisdom from the nation's preeminent sports psychologist, you can learn to achieve the success of your dreams.

Excellent for all professionals

Great book about upgrading your mindset ! I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to get themselves to that next level in life or business.

Game changer

Many words and concepts of wisdom here! The bottom line for me is how exceptional athletes handle that space where the rest of us crumble or seek certainty, perfectionism etc all of which paralyzes progress. He made is clear on how they do it with their mind and actions. No spoiler alerts here. Read or listen for yourself. I guarantee that it will be an illuminating discovery.

Great Advice

The information is not groundbreaking or complicated; it is usable and relatable to people in all aspects of life. This was a great read and a very good listen while working out and doing mundane tasks.

recommended for anyone

sports related or not this book carries a lot of similarities to life and provides the mindset to over come any obstacle. awesome.

Real coach with useful advice

Bob Rotella has plenty of experience coaching others to succeed and gave great advice in his book. This is the coach I wish I had when younger! I don't usually listen to a book twice, but I'll listen to this one again as it applies to so many areas of life. He got a little religious at the end which I didn't love, but he did it tastefully and provided value there too. Even an atheist can understand the importance of using the talents and circumstances life has given, and the importance of believing, especially in oneself. So I give his book 5 stars!

Awesome

Such good content, easy to follow and relate. provides amazing perspective on the right mindset to succeed.

AWESOME BOOK BY AN EXPERIENCED PRO
