About this title

About the Author

"Wow what a book. I really recommend reading this book if you are an athlete. It will really help your mental game! Enjoy!"
-Adriana Oliveira

Fantastic book! I bought Sifu Kevin Seaman's previous book "The Winning Mind Set" back in 06 or 07 & have attended a number of his seminars since then. Reading The Winning Mindset was a perception altering experience. Sifu's wealth of experience is second to none. You cant train directly under some of the most elite instructors on the planet and NOT be razor sharp. So I knew "The Mind Game of MMA" would be a similar read as Mindset was and it didnt disappoint! Whether you train simply to get in shape or you compete in the UFC...this book will only make you better!
-Curtis Yeomans

His book will prepare you for the fight."
