I got this to help support my teenage son who’s into sports but sometimes struggles with motivation. We ended up reading parts of it together, and it really opened up some good conversations. It gave me a better way to encourage him without pushing too hard, and he’s actually responding well. It’s been a helpful tool for both of us—without being overly complicated.

Solid resource for parents or coaches wanting to foster real change without pushing. I’ve struggled to get my teen to open up about fitness goals, but this guide gave me real tools to approach those conversations differently. The techniques focus on listening rather than lecturing, which made a noticeable difference in how my kid engages with nutrition plans. The mental toughness section isn’t preachy-it’s practical advice for building confidence through small wins. I’ve even started applying the strategies to my own health habits.

After years of struggling to motivate my reluctant teen athletes, this audiobook changed everything! I've been listening during my morning commute for two weeks and implementing the techniques with my high school track team. The open-ended questioning approach has resonated with even my most resistant athletes. One runner who had been consistently skipping workouts is now showing up regularly since I adjusted my coaching style. I especially appreciate the practical examples that demonstrate exactly how to phrase things in different situations. The bonus material on mental toughness for teens complements the main content perfectly. This has become my coaching playbook for creating lasting change rather than temporary motivation!
