Review : Foreword by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson From a top mental conditioning coach—"the world’s best brain trainer†( Sports Illustrated )—who has transformed the lives and careers of elite athletes, business leaders, and military personnel, battle-tested strategies that will give you tools to manage and overcome negativity and achieve any goal. He knows how to win. More, he knows the many ways-subtle, brutal, often self-inflicted-we lose. As the most trusted mental coach in the world of sports, Trevor Moawad has worked with many of the most dominant athletes and the savviest coaches. From Nick Saban and Kirby Smart to Russell Wilson, they all look to Moawad for help finding or keeping or regaining their comÂpetitive edge. (As do countless business leaders and members of special forces.) Now, at last, Moawad shares his unique philosophy with the general public. He lays out lessons he's derived from his greatest career successes as well as personal setbacks, the game-changing wisdom he's earned as the go-to whisperer for elite performers on fields of play and among men and women headed to the battlefield. Moawad's motivational approach is elegant but refreshingly simple: He replaces hardwired negativity, the kind of defeatist mindset that's nearly everybody's default, with what he calls "neutral thinking." His own special innovation, it's a nonjudgÂmental, nonreactive way of coolly assessing problems and analyzing crises, a mode of attack that offers luminous clarity and suÂpreme calm in the critical moments before taking decisive action. Not only can neutral thinking raise your performance level-it can transform your overall life. And it all starts, Moawad says, with letting go. Past failures, past losses-let them go. "The past isn't predicÂtive. If you can absorb and embrace that belief, everything changes. You'll instantly feel more calm. And the athlete-or employee or parent or spouse-who's more calm is also more aware, and more times than not ... will win." Read more
Review : With this book Trevor Moawad has taken his expertise in coaching top athletes and condensed it into a rather engaging read. He avoids telling the reader to be positive and focuses instead on looking at the situation realistically, acknowledging that one has a choice in the behaviours one can engage in and then behaving in the ways that will help one realize the desired outcomes. Trevor has included very candid accounts of how he dealt with the changes in his life, his failures and successes, the effect his coaching has had on his clients how some of them managed to take the skills he taught them beyond their careers in sports and change the trajectory of their lives. He acknowledges those who never really needed his training and gives a little case study of some folks who could have benefitted from the application of these principles. Took me a few days to get through but well worth the read for me. Chapter 10 was particularly useful for me but this entire book has been of great value for my personal study in self improvement and I will be adding it to my annual reading list.
