a mental fitness playbook changing how athletes handle pressure.
Built for real practices and real pressure, Mentality Wins delivers short, repeatable routines that raise concentration, increase reset speed after mistakes, and strengthen team cohesion. Beginners get clear on-ramps; advanced athletes get mastery progressions—so performance climbs and stress drops.

Micro-routines, not lectures. Short drills that fit between plays and reps.
-
Game-like practice. Constraints and resets that transfer under pressure.
-
Whole-athlete growth. Focus on the journey, not just the outcomes.
-
Built for teams. Easy to coach, simple to repeat, fun to do.
"After 51 years of coaching, I know the mental game is what separates good from great, and this book captures that truth better than anything I have ever seen. If I'd had Mentality Wins years ago, I would have handed it to every athlete and every coach I knew!"
