I read it cover to cover and man, is it a great read and man, is Alan Stein Jr. an inspirational dude.
We get into...
- How success can be broken down in to three distinct timelines: the short, medium and long term
- How discipline is the foundation of freedom
- The importance of mindfulness and staying in the moment in sport (and life)
- How stress is a conscious choice and the relationship that the highest performers have to stress. Giving yourself permission to feel what you are feeling
- What it takes to stay at the top of your game once you are there (see: James, Lebron)
- Repetition as the key to success
- Why motivation is over-glorified and over-hyped
- So much more...
Enjoy & thanks for slowing down with us.
