This book is for you. This book is for my friends. When I was coming up, I never knew what mental skills were. I never understood the full breadth of psychology, and I still don't. The more I learn, the more I realize there's so much more. More history, more questions, more mystery. This book is not for everybody. What I have attempted to do is to break down some of the most popular concepts I have come across when working with athletes. In this book, I speak to you as I speak to a friend having an intense conversation about psychology. This guidebook is designed for high-achieving performers who are not interested in fluff and unnecessary jargon. It was designed to be consumed on a long bus ride or during a team flight. Short, but action-packed. It is also designed for engagement and to be used as a quick reference to apply to your career or help others with theirs. This book is divided into two parts: the first part is macro (philosophy), while the second part is micro (skills you can begin applying immediately). I look forward to hearing how something you read in the following pages inspires you to do better and be more.
