Blown Away I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from this book, but I really loved it. It taps into my interest in sport psychology, and it doesn’t just pay the subject a little lip service. His interviews are generally great and they feature some MMA luminaries as well as some off-beat choices that make sense in the larger picture. I’m keeping this one near at hand for reference.
Great book for all athletes regardless of which sport you … Great book for all athletes regardless of which sport you are involved in. I recommended it to all of my athletes as a mental training tool.
Great reading I believe this is an awesome book for those who are truly interested in getting better insight. It contain valuable knowledge from some of the greatest athletes and trainers in the world.
