Publisher's Summary
Performed by Trevor Moawad with a foreword written and read by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson
From a top mental conditioning coach - "the world’s best brain trainer" (Sports Illustrated) - who has transformed the lives and careers of elite athletes, business leaders, and military personnel, battle-tested strategies that will give you tools to manage and overcome negativity and achieve any goal.
He knows how to win. More, he knows the many ways - subtle, brutal, often self-inflicted - we lose.
As the most trusted mental coach in the world of sports, Trevor Moawad has worked with many of the most dominant athletes and the savviest coaches. From Nick Saban and Kirby Smart to Russell Wilson, they all look to Moawad for help finding or keeping or regaining their competitive edge. (As do countless business leaders and members of special forces.)
Now, at last, Moawad shares his unique philosophy with the general public. He lays out lessons he's derived from his greatest career successes as well as personal setbacks, the game-changing wisdom he's earned as the go-to whisperer for elite performers on fields of play and among men and women headed to the battlefield.
Moawad's motivational approach is elegant but refreshingly simple: He replaces hardwired negativity, the kind of defeatist mindset that's nearly everybody's default, with what he calls "neutral thinking". His own special innovation, it's a nonjudgmental, nonreactive way of coolly assessing problems and analyzing crises, a mode of attack that offers luminous clarity and supreme calm in the critical moments before taking decisive action.
Not only can neutral thinking raise your performance level - it can transform your overall life. And it all starts, Moawad says, with letting go. Past failures, past losses - let them go.
"The past isn't predictive. If you can absorb and embrace that belief, everything changes. You'll instantly feel more calm. And the athlete - or employee or parent or spouse-who's more calm is also more aware, and more times than not...will win."

Exceptional book
Delivered really effective mindset changes and approaches to life. It’s based around elite sport but as a businessman, I found it very applicable to my world. It’s narrated by Trevor and he’s got a compelling voice making it fun and educational. Highly recommend.

loved this book
Very clear and easy to follow guidance with some really interesting thoughts on the next step from the 'positivity' movement. There is a good mix between stories and practical applications. Has re triggered my spark into becoming a mental conditioning practitioner.

Excellent
Loved the presentation and thoughts proved. In a world not lacking in self help material, this book was well worth the time and deserves a repeat listen.

Best Suited for American Football fans.
First came upon this Author after watching his interview with Tom Bileu on Impact Theory within YouTube- really enjoyed the interview and promptly searched and downloaded his book.
I commend any person who creates something of value to others, but their value may not be felt by all. I will say that I only went 1hr 40min into this 5hr audiobook but couldn't go any further because of the constant reference to American Football terms and concepts, as I had no understanding of the players he was referring to or the football plays. I found this very distracting to the core message he might be trying to communicate. This however is completely understandable as he was an advisor to football teams, but I thought his book may be for a wider audience. If you are from the USA and understand football you may love this book. This book is for A VERY specific target audience of which I am not. I wish I could get a refund on this, but unfortunately not.

underlying message is good if you can stand the sports metaphors
good underlying messaging about thinking naturally, but it's super American and sports based. so found it hard to relate it to my life.
