"As a former collegiate athlete, parent of a college athlete, and retired teacher and coach, I could've used this book in all phases of my life. Mental Toughness for Student Athletes is surprisingly easy to read, and it's written in such a way that you can focus on one particular chapter as opposed to reading it cover to cover although I highly recommend reading it in its entirety. The Champion's Corner provides a quick overview of the chapter with easy to use strategies, which are well referenced. Anyone wanting to dig deeper into a particular strategy has the resources at their fingertips."
