Finest sports book I've read in almost 50 years from the standpoint of a book which personally involves you on every page. A fascinating book written simply but with great thoughtfulness. We bought one for each of our high school basketball players. They can use it for every aspect of their lives. Sincerely,

I've previously listened to and read Sun Tzu's "Art of War" and tried to make the principles and philosophies apply to my life and martial arts training. However, "The Way of the Champion" does all of this for you. It is well written which makes it an easy read. There are lots of examples of how the lessons in the book were used and applied to other athletes with positive results. I recently hit a mental road block in my martial arts training, and this book is helping me to achieve a winning state of mind for martial arts, work, and life.

This book has a lot of simple concepts and quick phrases / questions that can be used with youth teams to help them develop mental toughness and perspective as to how to improve themselves. As a youth coach, I found these concepts easy to adapt and apply in quick, three minute sessions before and after each practice.

I saw this book being discussed on the Tennis Channel by several top players and decided to order it and read it. It is a fantastic book not only on competing in tennis or any sport but living your life.The Way of the Champion is truly a way of living your life in all areas. Loved it.

This book helps to focus you on the task at hand whether it be working out or something job related. I am glad I bought this book.
