Story
Moses and Troy Horne here. Your mental-toughness guides! We know exactly how you feel. If you are reading this, you probably have a young athlete who struggles with in-game stress and maybe even sports performance anxiety. That is why this version was mostly written by Moses. As of the time of the writing of this book, Moses Horne is a 15-year-old elite athlete who can talk directly about the triumphs and struggles of working toward being mentally tough. This is the only book that I know of with input from an actual young athlete.

The Brave Athlete solves the 13 most common mental conundrums athletes face in their everyday training and in races. You don't have one brain - you have three; your ancient Chimp brain that keeps you alive, your modern Professor brain that navigates the civilized world, and your Computer brain that accesses your memories and runs your habits (good and bad). They fight for control all the time and that's when bad things happen. What if you could stop the thoughts and feelings you don't want? You can.

John O'Sullivan shares the secrets of the coaches and parents who have not only raised elite athletes, but have done so by creating an environment that promotes positive core values and teaches life lessons instead of focusing on wins and losses.

In Ninety Percent Mental, Bob Tewksbury shows listeners a side of the game only he can provide, given his singular background as both a longtime MLB pitcher and a mental skills coach for two of the sport's most fabled franchises, the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants. Fans watching the game on television or even at the stadium don't have access to the mind games a pitcher must play in order to get through an at-bat, an inning, a game.

After Eric Davis spent over 16 years in the military, including a decade in the SEAL teams, his family was more than used to his absence on deployments and secret missions that could obscure his whereabouts for months at a time. Without a father figure in his own life since the age of 15, Eric was desperate to maintain the bonds he'd fought so hard to forge when his children were young - particularly with his son, Jason, because he knew how difficult it was to face the challenge of becoming a man on one's own.

Publisher's Summary
Finally! There is a mental-toughness book for young athletes!
Hey Parents,
Troy Horne here. Your mental-toughness guide! If you are reading this, you probably have a young athlete who struggles with in-game confidence and maybe even sports-performance anxiety. I am here to help parents understand how to help your young athlete navigate this mental-toughness journey. I know where you are, and I know how to help you help your young athlete find their mental toughness. I have purchased a lot of books about mental toughness in sports.
To be honest, most of the books that we read were not a good fit for young athletes because they were either created for adults or not created for youth athletes in competitive sports. There is a difference.
Parents! Since there wasn't anything out there for elite athletes, I did what every youth-sports parent does when they want to help their kid.
I took the long journey of ups and downs. I struggled to help my young athlete find his mental toughness. It was rough! However, luckily along the way, we found the winning formula, thanks to being able to talk with sports icons personally. We launched a podcast together, and on it we interviewed mental-toughness giants of sports like Chauncey Billups, Tywanna Smith, Keiko Yoshimine, Earl Boykins, Jason Richardson, and Kobe Bryant!
I studied what they did and said based on our interviews, and I came up with a mental-toughness plan that worked! I followed their journey and their advice. I wrote down what worked for my young athlete, and I put it in this book so that you would be able to skip a lot of the struggle and failure parts. No need for everyone to struggle right?
In this book, I am going to share with you what I learned from talking to NBA athletes, NFL athletes, EuroLeague athletes, college coaches, and college athletes as well.
- Does your child perform better in practice than they do in the game or when the "lights come on"?
- Do they seem like they are losing their love for the game?
- Do you want to help them?
If you answered yes to these questions, then you are in the right place. This book provides the answer that you have been looking for! I can say this with confidence because I have used everything that I am going to share with you in this book with my son, and it has worked.
What a blessing to get the keys to mental toughness straight from greats! I look forward to sharing what we've learned with you!
This stuff is a game-changer, and it's made specifically for young athletes!
Order now to improve your young athlete's mental-toughness level for good!

Poorly written, poorly performed
It doesn’t take long to realize this book is a rambling one way conversation designed to play upon every helicopter parent’s POV that their athlete is somehow destined for greatness if they can only learn to be mentally tough. As a nationally licensed youth coach, it takes a lot more.
While the book is geared for parents of elite middle school students, the written language is kept at a similar reading level.
Note: I wrote this before completing the entire book as I’m not sure I will be able to listen to the performance for the entire length.

Listen & Take Notes 🏆
I found this audio through the luck of advertisement. My daughter is a budding softball player and as her coach and most importantly father, I am constantly searching for ways to teach her to be purposeful and have an edge. If you can relate to Troy & Moses you will see the path and what it’s going to take. I realized this was not only a teaching for the children but a refresher to renew that spirit in yourself as well.

Exactly what I was looking for!
I’m not the type to write reviews so I will keep it brief. I have a 6 year old boy who plays soccer. I’m implementing the exercises described in this book and I’m seeing results!
One thing I would say is adapt the exercises to suit your child. Because my son is so young, some exercises were a bit too grown up for him. Example their is a chapter on getting your child to mediate. Instead of medicating I tell him to close his eyes for 10 seconds before his match, to get all the giggles out his system so he’s focused and in the zone to play soccer.
