Personal Best

Transform Your Life by Thinking Like an Athlete

By: Josh Black

Narrated by: Nick Farnell

Ten incredible stories of world class athletes with formidable mindstates.

We are living beneath our potential, allowing our doubts and anxieties to close us within an ever-tightening circle of possibility. We are too willing to accept things as they are. We do less than we could to realise our potential, to live the life that is available to us if only we will reach out and take it.

Personal Best will help you unlock your potential by pointing you towards the kind of mental strengths that drive the performance of some of the world's greatest athletes. Those seeking to improve their personal, professional or athletic outcomes can adopt these mindsets.

The 10 championship virtues, which cover everything from tenacity and dedication to love and belief, are the mental (not physical) qualities. We make them not a part of our lives but of ourselves. These qualities power elite-level performance, and they can power change in your life.

Through exceptional storytelling and practical lessons, Josh Black will guide you towards your own transformative trigger moment. The profiles of courage and endurance contained in this book move from the elation of victory to the agony of defeat, and they will provide you with the tools you need to both face and overcome life's seemingly insurmountable obstacles on the way to spectacular success.

Hit and miss

Some athlete stories are pretty inspirational, while some are tedious with way too many unnecessary details, and seem rather contrived in linking certain events to a particular championship virtue. But the lessons and application at the end of each story are well presented and useful.
