After reading the other book, this was a let-down. It was not as concise as the others.

I don't know what these people are reading that call this a great book?! There are other books in this same category that are MUCH better writen, easier to understand, and have more actual excercises and less psycho-bable. I sent this one back for a refund. Loehr must have had his family write the earlier reviews!

This book kept me sane! I am an international referee in Judo. Being female in a male dominated sport requires the usual 150% performance! When the going gets tough this book's advice is invaluable.

I also coach teenagers, and my students benefit from James Leohr's confidence building techniques.

This little book read like a novel. It helped me understand better what I already knew and opened my eyes on aspects I was not aware of. The principles and philosophy described apply not only to sports, but to life in general. Anybody who has ambitions beyond sitting on the couch watching TV all day/night should read this book.

This book has a lot of terms and things that don't make a lot of sense. The intentions in this are great, but I want a book that is straightforward. The exercises aren't bad, but the talk isn't all that motivational.
