Honestly, watching my son get completely derailed by one bad play was tough; it felt like his confidence would just crumble. We started listening to this audiobook together on the way to practices, half-hoping something would stick. It's been like night and day! He really connected with the stories from the pro athletes, and we actually started doing some of the mental exercises – simple stuff, but effective. Learning about finding his "Razor's Edge" seemed to click for him, helping him focus on his own strengths instead of dwelling on mistakes. Michael Wallace narrates it brilliantly, making it engaging even after a long day. I’d definitely point any parent or coach trying to help a young athlete build real mental resilience towards this audiobook.
