About this listen
In his acclaimed national best seller, A Fighter's Heart, Sam Sheridan took listeners with him as he stepped through the ropes into the dangerous world of professional fighting. From a muay Thai bout in Bangkok; to Rio, where he trained with jiu-jitsu royalty; to Iowa, where he matched up against the toughest in MMA, Sheridan threw himself into a quest to understand how and why we fight.
In The Fighter's Mind, Sheridan does for the brain what his first book did for the body. To uncover the secrets of mental strength and success, Sheridan interviewed dozens of the world's most fascinating and dangerous men, including celebrated trainers Freddie Roach and Greg Jackson; champion fighters Randy Couture, Frank Shamrock, and Marcelo Garcia; ultrarunner David Horton; legendary wrestler Dan Gable; and many more. What are their secrets? How do they stay committed through years of training, craft a game plan, and adjust to the realities of the ring? How do they project strength when weak and remain mentally tough despite incredible physical pain?
A fascinating book, bursting at the seams with incredible stories and insight, The Fighter's Mind answers these questions and many more.

An excellent read
Whilst fight sport focussed this book is an excellent insight into the mental requirements for peak performance in sports and broader life. It ties together within a well told narrative the 'street smart' learnings of pinnacle level fighters with western and eastern documented philosophies on mental strength.

A great read, especially for Martial Artists
Each chapter was unique and provided just enough detail for me, as the reader, to follow the common threads from each interview. The final couple of chapters sum things up well.
A downside was that this was written in first person, and for the majority of the time I had no idea whether I was hearing the author's voice or something the interviewer said. It would have helped to have something like "quote - end quote" whenever something was being read that was spoken by someone other than the author.
