Synopsis

Working from a combined vast experience, the authors break down the elements of mental toughness into a package that is easy to understand for players, managers, coaches, and parents. Their goal is winning baseball. They show how every at-bat or pitch is a test, particularly as players advance to higher levels. The book will help build attitude, confidence, and the ability to focus and make adjustments, helping players reach their maximum performance. In Mental Toughness, many leading professional players share their insights and offer a glimpse into the minds of major leaguers how they think and why they act in the ways they do. Praise for Mental Toughness: "A very important book...it should be required reading for all professional players." Keith Lieppman, Oakland A's director of player development. "I wish I'd had Mental Toughness around when I was a kid trying to figure out how to get to the big leagues and the Hall of Fame. It's a great book." Don Sutton, Hall of Fame pitcher. "I can't imagine a better helper than Mental Toughness. It's a book that can show you how important the mental game is, and how to master it." Orel Hershiser, Cy Young Award winner."

Review:

Many of the lessons are valuable to life in general...in school, in business settings, even over the poker table.--Daniel Gabriel

Mental Toughness is so good that it is a must-read for future athletes and non-athletes alike. Reading this book will put everyone far ahead of the game. From all my experiences as an athlete, your mind controls everything. The sooner you learn how to match the mind with the physical ability, the sky is the limit. Good luck and good reading.--Mark McGwire

Mental Toughness is the best teaching and learning tool I've ever seen in baseball. It's a long-awaited missing link to success, not only for players but for coaches too. I think it should be required reading for everyone in the game.--Roland Hemond

The best teaching and learning tool I've ever seen in baseball.... Required reading for everyone in the game.--Roland Hemond

Athletes and coaches of any sport will appreciate the aspects of Mental Toughness.--Burt Angeli "Daily News "

This well-done study will be useful to players, coaches, and students of the game of life.--M.L. Krotee "CHOICE "

...The thing that separates the great players from the good players is their mental stability and anyone that's serious about being successful would gain a lot by reading this book because there's a tremendous amount of information. That information is not only good for the athletes but good for anyone that wants to understand competition or understand life.--Mike Candrea, Head Coach, 2004 gold medal-winning USA Softball Olympic team

Reading a book about strength training won't make you strong, and reading this book won't make you a champion...but apply what you learn from this book and there's no end to what you can accomplish.--Rich Harden, starting pitcher for the Oakland Athletics

This book is comprised of great stories, which I think could apply not only in sports but in the game of life.--Gary Carter, Hall of Fame Catcher, MVP in two World Series, 11 time All-Star

Very impressive. This book should be a must-read for young players desiring to learn to succeed.--Dusty Baker, Chicago Cubs Manager
