This is great for coaches who may not be getting the best out of their players. Being able to tie their theories and factual research and quotes from professional athletes helps you understand that the mental aspect is just as important as the physical aspect of the game.

The reading itself is a bit dry and can be easy to mind wander.

Excellent content but really tough listen due to poor narration. Very robotic, multiple times was convinced it was AI. Makes me want to purchase the hard copy so I can read myself

Great book, robotic narration

The content, which is extraordinary, is insulted by the narrator. His pattern of speaking trumps punctuation to the point where the reading is nonsensical at times. The exact same one inflection throughout the reading sounds like a newly sentient robot.

1. ). Useful content: expectations, pressure, preparation, etc.
2.). Numerous examples.
3.). A few chapters I repeated several times.
4.). The chapter Re expectations was worth the book price
5.). Narration was irritating. Robotic. Disappointing.
Regardless, Worth the money and time.

Don't get me wrong there is some great advice In there. I know taking time to write anything takes amazing effort, but it felt dry.

This is good information albeit dated, but what really is important to know is the narrator talks slowly, pauses at inappropriate time and bolsters his voice as if it’s what I’m here for. His flow is as if he’s never read a book to anyone before in his life. Hard to listen to only because of that. As I said the information is good and from a leader in his time.

Narrator kills this book
