Publisher's summary

From best-selling author Bob Rotella, America's preeminent sports psychologist, a groundbreaking guide to success in all aspects of life - not just sports - from business to relationships to personal challenges of every variety.

Acclaimed sports psychologist Bob Rotella has advised everyone from professional golfers to NBA superstars to business executives on how to flourish under pressure and overcome challenges. Now, for the first time, he's distilled his decades of in-depth research and practical experience into a potential-unlocking guide for everyone.

This exciting audiobook is not a collection of Rotella's theories; it consists of performance principles that have proven themselves in countless competitive situations, in arenas from which only the strongest minds emerge triumphant. 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.

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.

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!

It is PACKED with years of experience and chapters of tips that I captured through bookmarking.
I'm totally not a golfer but it doesn't matter - his examples are universal.
I highly recommend this book.
