"Peak Performance: Mindset Tools for Athletes" and "Peak Performance: Mindset Tools for Business", books are available on Amazon. For those in sports, even though the title states “Business”, it is for athletes and coaches also. So don't let the title fool you! In fact, in my chapter I use a few baseball examples. This book applies to everyone. The book includes 24 expert-authors from all over the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Qatar, India, and Australia. It provide examples from elite athletes, coaches, entrepreneurs, CEOs, MBAs, PhDs, and more on how to perform at peak levels. There are no limits to what levels of performance we can achieve, and this book will provide an array of perspectives to train your mind and body as you strive toward peak performance.
