CrossFit trainer Ben Bergeron has helped build the world's fittest athletes, but he's not like other coaches. He believes that greatness is not for the elite few; that winning is a result, not a goal; and that character, not talent, is what makes a true champion. His powerful philosophy can help anyone excel at all aspects of life. Using the dramatic competition between the top contenders at the 2016 Reebok CrossFit Games® as a background, Ben explores the step-by-step process of achieving excellence and the unique set of positive character traits necessary for leveling up to world-class. The mindset and methodology that have produced some of the greatest athletes in the world's most grueling sport can work equally well for golfers, lawyers, artists, entrepreneurs - anyone who's willing to commit totally to becoming better than the best.

Excellent content, mediocre narrator
Would you listen to The Champion's Mind again? Why?
Yes, I listen to it frequently. While not an athlete, I find the concepts in the book very effective at keeping me focused and motivated in my work and life.
What other book might you compare The Champion's Mind to and why?
Win Forever, by Pete Carroll. More motivation and concepts to achieving greatness.
Would you be willing to try another one of Eric Michael Summerer’s performances?
Yes, but I'd prefer other narrators. Eric's narration is clear and understandable, but often sounds a bit mechanical and unnatural. Sometimes it's as if my computer is narrating for me.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I get extremely pumped and motivated for my week
Any additional comments?
Would be 10/10 if the narration were a bit better, but it's not so bad. I still listen to it frequently.

Big On Performance Tricks, Small On Science
Have a sense of humour, cuz once there was this famous coach who made a joke before a big game, and they went on to win the championship.
That's the level of empirical research you will find in this book. If you're looking for some motivation, and hearsay anecdotal tricks will do it for you, then this will be great. If you can't buy into something just because a motivational speaker said it's a great mantra, there are a lot of other excellent books that present analysis and evidence of how good techniques actually work.
For me, without the science, it's just your best guess. What that superstitious pro did that one time with his underwear while on a winning streak is not a motivator for me.

Probably better as a book
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No, The narrator's monotonous drone and lack of emotional involvement in what is totally an emotion based topic basically made the audible version boring and unmemorable. I DO think it would probably be a good read where the narrator is you.
Would you ever listen to anything by Jim Afremow again?
yes, IF narrated better. The book was highly recommended and I thought I'd be able to listen in the truck or during down time.
What didn’t you like about Eric Michael Summerer’s performance?
He lacked emotional involvement- or really any interest in the material. just a distant voice reading the material.
Was The Champion's Mind worth the listening time?
no and I found I tuned it out most of the time. I would consider buying the book.

Good Book - Would Prefer In Print, Perhaps
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It provides plenty of good ways to look at life. Very motivating not just for the athlete - but anyone looking to get ahead in whatever the endeavor.
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
Think Gold, and settle for nothing less.
Any additional comments?
Because there are many exercises and things that make more sense if you review them several times in a row, I bought the book. I would suggest listening to a chapter in the book first. THEN, using the book as mental refreshers to do the exercises and re-read the quotes. But overall, a very good instructional book for life.

Valuable Skills for Sports, Life & Business
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Not only about the Mental Game or Sports Psychology, but one of the best books I've read in personal development. From the start it dives right into applicable skills, scenarios, affirmations, and awesome quotes. This book is not only a book on Championship thinking for Athletes but also for business professionals, leaders, and daily life.
Dr Afremow looks at every challenge as an opportunity for growth no matter the circumstance and staying present to achieve success on and off the field. I began applying some of the skills immediately as I was going through the book. Something simple as listening to a certain type music to get into the rhythm and flow of an activity can determine how well we focus especially during a difficult period of a day i.e. mid afternoon for me. And that rhythm and flow can be applied to our sports practice or performance. Even the pre-game prep is something many of us overlook in the importance of creating an environment that'll boost our performance rather than create resistance and stress.
Highly recommended reading and/or listening. See more below for additional review.
What about Eric Michael Summerer’s performance did you like?
Great reader. Voice and level of enthusiasm was just right for this book.
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
One of my favorite quotes from the book is "The goal for any Athlete is to be Master of the injury rather than letting the injury master the Athlete. Bring your champion's mindset to the training room and make rehab your new sport until you get your game back, and you will get that game back." Reminds me of what I did during my recovery after spine surgery. If it wasn't for my mental game and making rehab my sport and part of my daily fitness activity, I wouldn't have recovered as quickly and as well as I did while discovering a new passion. If you think about it, your Physical Therapist during rehab becomes your Strength Coach. Their goal is to get you back in the condition you were at pre-injury through exercise.
Any additional comments?
I end this review on another quote that really stood out to me, "Focus on your performance not on unwanted outcomes. To perform at a champion's level, you must understand the importance of a long term memory for success and a short term memory, selective amnesia, for failure. Every Athlete fails but Champions do not dwell on their failures. Instead, they focus on the positive experiences and keep confidently moving forward." - Dr. Jim Afremow

The Brave Athlete solves the 13 most common mental conundrums athletes face in their everyday training and in races. You don't have one brain - you have three; your ancient Chimp brain that keeps you alive, your modern Professor brain that navigates the civilized world, and your Computer brain that accesses your memories and runs your habits (good and bad). They fight for control all the time and that's when bad things happen. What if you could stop the thoughts and feelings you don't want? You can.

Moses and Troy Horne here. Your mental-toughness guides! We know exactly how you feel. If you are reading this, you probably have a young athlete who struggles with in-game stress and maybe even sports performance anxiety. That is why this version was mostly written by Moses. As of the time of the writing of this book, Moses Horne is a 15-year-old elite athlete who can talk directly about the triumphs and struggles of working toward being mentally tough. This is the only book that I know of with input from an actual young athlete.

The Brave Athlete solves the 13 most common mental conundrums athletes face in their everyday training and in races. You don't have one brain - you have three; your ancient Chimp brain that keeps you alive, your modern Professor brain that navigates the civilized world, and your Computer brain that accesses your memories and runs your habits (good and bad). They fight for control all the time and that's when bad things happen. What if you could stop the thoughts and feelings you don't want? You can.
