The Mental Edge: A Coach’s Guide to Mental Training for Athletes is a powerful, emotionally charged guide designed for coaches who are ready to go beyond drills and game plans—and start developing the mindset that separates the good from the great.

Written by a certified sports psychology coach whose brother plays in the NFL, this book offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at what it truly takes to make it to the highest level.
