Superb Advice on Building Confidence in Sports

This audiobook had amazing advice backed by the latest research on how to effectively build confidence and focus when playing sports. Before listening to this audiobook I thought sports was an opportunity for my kiddos to play with others and build team morale. However, I learned, that it is an amazing opportunity to build character and confidence in my child as well. The narrator did a phenomenal job bringing out the important points in a clear, and engaging manner that allows not just an adult to gain insight but also your child. Awesome audiobook for all sports families!
