"The great thing about this book is that it will help you whatever your level of interest. If you put into action the ideas in this book, you will find that 'winning' is well within your reach." Sir Clive Woodward - England Rugby Union World Cup winning coach, Director of Elite Performance British Olympic Association "Mike Finnigan is to be congratulated for what he has achieved with this book. Through some of the great sportsmen and women of our lifetime, he introduces us to ordinary people who, through dedication and hard work, have lived extraordinary lives. This book is about encouragement." Don Mullan, author of Gordon Banks - A Hero Who Could Fly "Success for me at the highest level in sport is about having the mental strength to make sure you play to 100 per cent of your potential, and Michael's book will help you to do that." David Moyes - Manager, Everton Football Club "Success of failure will not be dependent on your ability to deal with the problem it will depend on your attitude towards the problem."

one for the kids to read independently....ATLAST!!!!!!! 7 July 2011

By Tracy

Format:Paperback

in a league of its own!
child friendly sport psycology and they won't even notice. There are national heroes from all sides of sport.
This book is real and wonderful for sporting children and parents. As a parent of a child training at a high level and a youth worker i thought that there was a hole in the market then i found this gem. It opens with an explaination of how vital self esteem is for our children to succeed.
every child should read this book, not just sporty kids. it is interactive. it is kid friendly. definately recommend for 10- 19 year olds. Older youth will find it inspiring, entertaining and light reading as they hear the the stories of our top athletes. I dipped straight into Beth Tweddles story and was so inspired.
As the book says in our country we have one coach to do the job of a team in most nations. As parents we need to be proactive at helping our kids to develop emotionaly to deal with sport pressure.

We just need it to be developed into a course that can be delivered to our clubs for coaches, parents and the kids.PLEASE

How refreshing. A book that doesn't blow your mind with long words and scientifc theories.

Full of exciting and interesting people where you can see that their attitude towards their life has made a big difference.

I would recommend this book to everyone.

I already have given a book to a friend that I know will benefit from reading this.

Loved It!!! 4 Feb 2011

I had the pleasure of meeting the author through a works convention. His stories were uplifting and motivating which inspired me to buy this book. It does exactly what it said on the cover, sharing many stories of sporting heroes and the secrets of their successes. These secrets, if used, will definitely ensure you are successful with whatever area of your life you are wanting to succeed. Highly recommended!
