What does it mean to be ready to play?

In post-game interviews with the losing team, you will often hear players and coaches say, “We were not ready to play tonight”.

By listening to this audiobook you will discover:

  • The building blocks for success in any endeavor
  • The three critical aspects of mental readiness
  • How to use proven mental training strategies to consistently perform well at practice and in competition

Ron Chamberlain has helped numerous athletes, coaches, and teams from a variety sports excel in collegiate athletics. His approach to mental training is simple to understand and practical to apply.
