Publisher's summary

Experience the transformational guide by former Navy SEAL and athlete Chad Metcalf, now in audio form, with an introduction by a two-time World Series champion!

This manual is your key to cultivating resilience and self-assuredness, not only for the game, but also in life.

Ever felt not good enough? Struggling with anxiety before significant games or crumbling under pressure? Maybe you're stuck despite countless hours of training, or merely seeking that extra edge. Whatever your situation, the answer is one: develop mental strength.

Discover the power of mental toughness–a cornerstone of success for every athlete and, as believed by boxing legend Muhammad Ali, "Champions have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill." Yet, this toughness isn't exclusive to sports—it impacts all life aspects. However, many overlook the need for a strong mentality, not realizing its power in enhancing performance in the field, classroom, or work.

This audiobook is your ticket to change that. You will learn:

  • To use mental toughness as a superpower to overcome any challenge.
  • To assess your abilities and identifying areas for improvement.
  • How to gain and apply knowledge from various sources.
  • To develop skills through deliberate practice.
  • The secret to cultivating two crucial mindsets: training and competition.
  • That failure as a stepping stone for growth.
  • Parallels between sports and life, and leveraging mental toughness for overall success.

And much more!

Don't believe the myth that mental toughness is for the elite or the naturally gifted. Many may falter in acquiring this vital skill, but with this guide, you won't. Are you ready to start training? Remember, mental toughness is cultivated, not inherited.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A great guide for all!

I enjoyed listening to this book, especially with Mr. Metcalf's narration. I coach tennis and basketball and have already started using the tools in this book. The ability for an athlete to develop the "next play" attitude and visualization of success have always been areas that I had my athletes focus on. Metcalf does a great job of going into detail about both. An excellent guide for a team book reading club as well.

Excellent advice for young people

Although this audiobook is geared towards young athletes, it is packed full of wonderful advice that can be used by young people anywhere. Learning self assessment, setting realistic yet challenging goals, making a step by step plan, practicing the skills you would like to improve, and accepting feedback from coaches and mentors are just a few of the strategies provided to help improve mental toughness. Learning from failure and having a positive mindset are also discussed which will definitely help manage the ups and downs of life.

I enjoyed listening to C. Metcalf's personal stories on how he implemented the various strategies in his life and in coaching his children to achieve success. Highly recommended!

The key to mental fortitude!

I wish I had this when I was younger. This book would have greatly improved my mindset as a high-school and college athlete. A very informative guide with practical information not just for sports, but for everyday life. The author has great credibility for mental toughness with his background. I highly recommend giving this a listen and will definitely encourage my kids to listen to this in the future.
