About this listen
Mental stability and endurance is a must both on the field and off. But, simply wishing for mental toughness will not get you the results you want. You have to work for it. In this book, you'll learn how to strengthen your mind and improve your mental willpower by utilizing and applying successful techniques from all-stars in an array of sports to outsmart and stay on top of the competition. You have to do what others won't (like shooting 1,000 shots a day, or training on your own) to set yourself above the rest.
Staying hungry = always wanting to get better. By practicing these techniques consistently, and keeping an open mind, you'll better be able to stay humble, thrive on a team, and more easily get in the zone in your sport or career.

Story
Famous three-time Grand Slam winner Arthur Ashe pointed out that many in sports fall victim to “paralysis by analysis”. Athletes on any level can experience the pain of overthinking and sabotaging their performance. Blame many traditional methods of teaching and training. How can we train smarter, not harder? If only our body and mind could perform in a way that’s more natural and instinctive. The best athletes have this quality, but many feel it is simply unattainable for them. I assure you it is not.
