My son loved this book

He wants to play cricket for a county side, and when he looks at established players he thinks he is as good as them. I told him either he is and he hasn't been discovered yet, or that he has the wrong mindset, and he needs to improve some parts of his game. This audiobook set him on the journey and he now accepts that it his his issue to fix, and not for others to spot his talent. Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent Guide for Young Athletes to Succeed

"Dreams are free; goals have a cost." This quote from Usain Bolt sums up the philosophy of the audiobook perfectly. While almost everyone has a dream or two, those who set goals to achieve those dreams are the successful ones. The author skillfully sets forth a plan for young athletes to be successful in whatever sport they choose by using seven psychological techniques that have been proven to work. They show how taking small, meaningful steps toward a goal is more valuable than large, meaningless leaps where you learn nothing along the way or depend on your "natural ability" to get there. How do you build a "winning mentality"? What is "meaningful and specific" reflection, and what role does it play in an athlete's success? How do you "visualize" your success? This audiobook lays it out in specific, meaningful steps to help young athletes succeed for the rest of their sports careers. I highly recommend it.
