Volume 1 Part 1

The Challenge

My mission has always been to bring out the greatest potential in student-athletes between the ages of 14 and 21. Whether you are in high school or college, competing in athletics, or entering the job market the lack of
self-confidence has a dramatic effect on how well you produce.

I have found that many athletes feel confident on the playing field, but not so confident in a social gathering, the classroom, on the job, or even at home. In fact, they may seem like two different people once they are off the athletic field. Why is that? They feel this way because they are taken out of their “comfort zone” and placed in a position of self doubt where they feel they will fail.

Some athletes who don’t make it in sports may choose to
dropout of school and create a feeling of failure from within. Once your subconscious accepts the fact that you are a failure, it becomes difficult to break that mindset. Because the mind is so powerful, it can work against you once you allow it to become negative.

If you always think you are the victim and nothing ever seems to go right for you, it’s time to start looking at things from a different perspective. The Million Dollar Athlete is never the victim, and failure is never an option.

Going Against The Grain

There’s truly more to winning than being the strongest or the fastest. If this were totally true, why do athletes with lesser athletic skills become more successful than those with greater ones? Your attitude and how you behave on the playing field during game situations becomes the key to your success.

Attitude has always taken a back seat to strength and speed training in an athlete’s development, and I will show you why this is the wrong approach to winning.
