Champion Minded: Achieving Excellence in Sports and Life

I recommend this book to any competitive athlete.I first heard of Allistair years ago from a sport psychologist friend of mine on facebook. I loved the material on his facebook page, and I actually printed out many of his McCaw Method lines and pasted them on my apartment walls. I was psyched when he finally came out with a book for athletes, and I was not disappointed.The content is great, and there's a lot of food for thought. I'm not gonna go into too much detail here, but for one, if you have attitude issues, this book will point them out. It might not be nice, but as long as you have a willingness to improve, it'll be a great help to have those things pointed out to you.For example, I am battling with waking up early. I used to do it well, but a couple of months ago I lost my routine, and have been struggling with it since. I also didn't touch the book for a while either. I pick it up and it reminds me of a.m. ie attitude management. I'm working on waking up earlier now and once I fix my sleeping rhythm I'll hold on to it for dear lifeThere were many things also in the book that I had not given any thought.Just a great book, with surprisingly much content, I couldn't believe how much there was in here.I can highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to go far in life. A Champion Mindset is an invaluable tool.

Great and simplistic applications!

This book is a must-read for all athletes, as well as anybody else who is involved in sports.It is well written, the chapters flow easily, and the advice is clear and concise. You can start putting the tips into practice now. Not tomorrow or when you finish the book, but literally as soon as you read the first chapter. Some advice may seem repetitive, but I suspect it's only because the author wants to drill some things into our head.One chapter in particular, about goals vs purpose, gave me pause, and made me literally rethink my life. I am not a professional athlete, but a lot of the advice in this book applies to all of us. It's not only about building skills for a successful career in sports. It's about building skills for a successful life. So go ahead and read the book, and even if you commit to apply only a coupe of these tips, you will be committing to improving yourself.

We all have our go to books. This one and few others by Allistair are mine when it comes to working with kids on mental part of the game. Many great chapters within the book that relate to so many subjects that we deal with on daily basis. It's one thing for me to say or talk about "body language", but when it comes from others, like Allistair, it paints that picture that I might able to paint.Well written with short chapters but covers many areas of mental part of the game. MUST read

What a solid perspective on life training for athletes and coaches in all their endeavors both during competition and in their personal growth out side of sport. We used Champion Minded during our HS tennis season last year and the results were incredible. At the end of most of our practices I would pick a player and have them open the book to a random chapter to read to the team. It was incredibly engaging and made some really great connections with all kinds of kids. Not to mention the coaches. Really Fantastic how it addressed so many of their individual needs wthout me pushing the info. So amazing! I have never had kids remind me to do book study before introducing Champion Minded. At more than one practice we had players ask to read when I wasn't planning on it. What an amzing coaching tool! I highly recommend this book to any one who is working on being more Champion-minded. Thak you Allistair!

This book is for my son's 9th grade reading group project. I don't really have anything to report at this point

A must read ! When you need inspiration , this is an easy and very motivating book to read .

This is great reading. I am using it for my sales team and it is amazing. Thank you

I am fortunate enough to work at one of the largest sports academies in Canada and this along with his other books are everywhere. We have used them as PD, gave them to students and recommend them often. Must read, especially after the last two years.

Superbly written1-2 page chaptersEase to refer again and again

For all the Coaches a very good guide. A essential book to improve attitude and mindset. To read again every time the situation needs a pro consulting

This is a keeper, the information within "Champion minded" has been fantastic for motivating my athletes and me. As a coach of juniors i have encouraged my young athletes to buy this book and open dialogue with each other over the subjects within. During lockdown this has been one of the good habits from Allistair's "7 keys to being a great coach" that I have tried to get the players to adopt. Set 20 minutes aside each day to read. One of the many, many great tips to help athletes (&coaches) develop.

This book is equally good for athletes and anyone who want to achieve excellence in life. one of best books I have read
