WINNING STATE BASEBALL: The Athlete's Guide to Competing Mentally Tough
 
50 years helping athletes let their BIG DOG out and bring home wins.
 
This book motivates athletes to strengthen their mental game. Written by an athlete for athletes, the gritty language and eye-popping graphics instantly give athletes a new approach to keep the awesome butterflies from turning into ugly doubt demons.
 
Of course we need to bounce back from mistakes, not get down on ourself, and fight to the very end. Of course we need grit and resilience. We don’t accomplish those amazing feats of mental strength by repeating fluffy affirmations trying to convince ourself we’re a superhero as we’re ready to hurl on our shoes.  
 
We need to head into Steve's mental weightroom and work on the BIG-DOG tactics to calm down and believe in ourself. Real tactics that aren’t “simple” or “easy” or any other hype that’s just not true.
 
Hitting a ball, catching a ball, and throwing a ball aren’t “easy.” Especially when the stakes are high and everyone’s watching. Getting good at those skills takes hard work. So does building the skills that produce BIG-DOG mental toughness.
 
BIG-DOG mental toughness separates winners from losers.
 
Realize this: Champions are built, not born. The opposite idea is a ridiculous myth. Every athlete can experience the thrill of conquering nerves, focusing like a laser, and dominating the competition. 
 
If your athlete loves to win, this book will change their life.
 
Steve Knight has brought more innovations to the mental game than any other author or sports psychologist.
