The audiobook for Think Like a Warrior is available now!

One of the questions I’ve been asked most often over the last few years is, “Where can I get audio versions of your books?”

I’ve always responded by saying the audiobooks were not yet available.

I knew if I was going to offer audio versions of my Sports for the Soul books, I needed to team with the perfect production company to ensure they were the highest-quality audiobooks with professional narrators.

That time has come! [continue reading…]

The Power of RELENTLESS OPTIMISM


“So many players enter the game with the same approximate skills. The difference is not aptitude but attitude.”
Dave Winfield, 12-time MLB All-Star and World Series Champion


I’m excited to announce that my book, RELENTLESS OPTIMISM, has now received more than 1,000 five-star reviews on Amazon! This is rare territory for a book and I’m so thankful to all of you who have left such kind reviews—for this book and any of my other books.

To celebrate, we’re re-releasing this bestseller with a brand-new cover. It’s similar to the previous cover, but now refreshed and updated.

If you have not had the chance to read RELENTLESS OPTIMISM, summer is the perfect time to read this story set in the world of professional baseball.

Of course, as readers of my work know, this book is about much more than sports.

This particular book is about OPTIMISM and POSITIVE THINKING.

Positive thinking leads to positive outcomes. Study after study proves this.

Researchers have found that optimistic people live longer, live healthier, have more energy, have more successful careers, make better decisions, are more productive, are less stressed, have healthier relationships, and (not surprisingly) are much happier than pessimists.

However, a lot has been misunderstood about what it means to be a positive thinker and what it takes to maintain an optimistic mindset. It takes a lot more than repeating feel-good platitudes to make positive thinking work in your life. It takes discipline, commitment, and a proper understanding of what optimism really means in a world that is constantly throwing new challenges at us.

This is a book for anyone who has ever questioned whether positive thinking really “works.”

It’s also a book for those who have tried to develop a more positive attitude, but have found it difficult to eliminate the voices of fear, doubt, and cynicism.

And finally, this is a book for anyone who wants to put optimism to work in their life with practical, proven techniques.

I invite you to check out RELENTLESS OPTIMISM. It’s the perfect summertime read and it’s now available with an updated NEW cover.

You Become What You Think About


“A great manager has the ability to make a player think that he is better than he is. He convinces you to have confidence in yourself. He lets you know that he believes in you, and before long you discover talent that you never knew you had.” Reggie Jackson, 14-Time MLB All-Star, 5-Time World Series Champion


 

One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned in life is that you become what you think about most. You tend to live up to—or down to—the expectations you have for yourself.

It doesn’t happen overnight and it’s not an exact science, but I’ve found that over the long run we all pretty much become the people we expect to become.

A parent, coach, teacher, or mentor can play a major role in determining the way we see ourselves. Depending on the type of mentor we listened to, this can be positive or negative.

The reality is, we’re surrounded by people and messages that often encourage us to see ourselves and the world around us in a more negative light.

That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in building up your own self-image. [continue reading…]

What REALLY Separates the Best from the Rest


“The mental game is what separates a Tour player from an amateur, and what separates consistent winners from the greats.”
– TIGER WOODS


 

I want to thank everyone who has already picked up a copy of my new book, THE MENTAL GAME, and especially those who have posted such positive reviews about the book. (See what readers are saying about THE MENTAL GAME here.) I can’t thank you all enough for your support!

For those of you who have not yet read THE MENTAL GAME, what follows is the book’s introduction. This gives more insight into what the book is about and why I think it just might be the most important book I’ve ever written


The thoughts you think determine the life you live.

If you regularly think about goals that excite you, reasons to be grateful, and things that make you feel good; studies tell us you’re much more likely to live a happy, healthy, and successful life. If, on the other hand, you dwell on thoughts of self-doubt, worry, and all that is going wrong in your life; those same studies tell us you’re more likely to be sad, depressed, and unsuccessful.

Think positive and positive things tend to happen. Think negative and negative things tend to happen. [continue reading…]

I’m excited to announce that the latest book in the Sports for the Soul series is available now!

This new book is called The Mental Game: Winning the War Within Your Mind.

As the title suggests, it’s a book about winning that crucial battle that takes place within your mind.

I believe there is a war going on within your mind. It’s a battle between the positive and the negative. And the side that wins this battle determines the type of life you live.

This book will show you how to take control of your thoughts and win the inner war against negativity. [continue reading…]
