Praise for The Young Champion's Mind

"Young athletes will find much of value in this guide to developing a winning mindset." --Kirkus Reviews

"Anecdotes from sports figures show how athletes' success depends on getting onto the field or gym, being willing to make mistakes (and open to constructive criticism), and finding joy in learning and training, not just in the end goal. Nonathletes may find the advice just as applicable to their academic and personal aspirations." --Publishers Weekly
