Have you every marveled at the poise, grace, and athleticism of champions in their sport? Do you find yourself asking, “What separates ‘the best’ from all the rest?” Why is it that some athletes make it look so easy while others struggle just to “take the shot”? Who would you call on to take the last shot in a basketball game, perhaps Michael Jordan? Who would you hand the ball to in the bottom of the ninth inning, with the game on the line, is it Mariano Rivera? If your team is trailing by six points with less than two minutes remaining in the game, would you trust the ball in Joe Montana’s hands? Each of the athletes I listed above is a classic example of a champion. Their beliefs, attitudes, and leadership are second to none. In Mind Over Head Chatter, we share with you the research and insights into the makings of the world’s best athletes over many decades, and what made them champions in their sport. You will learn their methods and secrets and what they did to produce at such high levels. You’ll also discover how to Ignite your own passion, how to set goals, and develop the mental toughness to take your game to the next level. The book is broken down into four sections; Section 1: The Driving Force – Finding Your Motivation, covers how to ignite your passion, your support systems and influences, what makes a champion, and creating a personal highlight reel in your head. Section 2: You Gotta Believe, helps you with setting goals, learning the three “C’s” of Confidence, Courage, and Commitment, and how to train your brain for peak performance. Section 3: Getting Centered, covers your self-talk, visualization, breathing, and relaxation. Section 4: We Are the Champions, digs deeper into what sets five of the greatest athletes of all time apart from others in their sport. The athletes include Bruce Lee, Wilma Rudolph, Dan Gable, Nadia Comaneci, and Michael Jordan. So, sit back, kick your feet up, and enjoy Mind Over Head Chatter: The Psychology of Athletic Success.

Mindfulness. It is an easy word to say. It is also an easy one to practice. For the millions of people across the world who take time out of their day to practice mindfulness, there are plenty of benefits to be had. For those who don't, the door is always open. Though mindfulness is a healthy and mind-awakening habit for everyone, it can be particularly useful for children and teens throughout their developmental years. In fact, a number of scientific studies have focused on this topic specifically. The vast amount of benefits and the fact that mindfulness is accessible to everyone leaves little in the way of reasons not to try it. Unlike some stress-relieving habits - such as exercise or vacations - mindfulness is an always available, life-long option. Oh, and it doesn't cost a thing. If taught at an early age, mindfulness can completely alter the course of one's life for the better, leading to a path of clarity, balance, and happiness. Teaching mindfulness early is a great way to establish routines and habits that keep the practice in the minds of young ones all the way through their adulthood. For parents, teachers, and role models, encouraging and demonstrating mindfulness for the next generation may be one of the most impactful lessons that can be left behind.

For a CEO to get the most out of his or her business, they MUST get the most productivity out of their people. In a nutshell, the healthier their employees are the more and better work they can do for their employer, and the better their quality of life will be. The recognition of this truism leads to a business practice generally known as “corporate wellness.” The world of corporate wellness is rife with hype, misleading propaganda and false promises. This book will set the record straight on what corporate wellness is, and dispel the lies and myths. I’ll discuss why it’s critical to a business’s success and provide a guideline for developing and managing a corporate wellness program that will maximize investment in the human resources that make or break businesses.Throughout this book, you will learn how to tell fact from fiction and how to determine what is important for businesses and what will work. I will address each of these erroneous concepts and provide you with the critical information needed to show a company how they can maximize their work force’s productivity.

Lies & Myths About Corporate Wellness

"It's fierce." "It's awesome." "It's miraculous." "It's true." These are just some of the phrases that people are using who have discovered the secret to dealing with their bodies and their minds for total fitness, health, and well-being - a grand three-some. They report feeling healthier and happier, while getting the results they've been wishing for, and even seeing some amazing results they didn't expect. What is this wonderful secret behind these good tidings? Mindfulness, an idea that has been around for centuries, and that today has been trying to make its valuable presence known in the fitness world, and it is here for you, in Mind Your Own Fitness. Your body is constantly talking to you and telling you how it feels. You hear it groan with every muscle ache, bellyache, bloat or pain. What if you knew that by simply getting your mind to listen and communicate excellently with your body, you could change your moods, bring you the glow of optimal health, vim and vigor, and especially help you to feel great while exercising to be fit? You can have this and it's "No problem," as kids say, because it's all just about your own mind, and your own body, working together in a way that is best for you.

I wrote this book as much for myself as others, because I wanted to know, just like you, what separates the good from the great. I’ve participated in athletics my entire life, through Little League baseball, wrestling, and judo. I was a Little League All-Star, an AAU State Champion high school wrestler, and Sunflower State (Kansas) Champion Judo player, competing at the highest level nationally throughout college. I was “good” at every sport I played, but never “GREAT”. Mind Over Head Chatter gave me the insight into what I expected, but had never fully embraced…”Rule Your Mind, Or It Will Rule You.” The book is broken down into four sections; Section 1: The Driving Force – Finding Your Motivation, covers how to ignite your passion, your support systems and influences, what makes a champion, and creating a personal highlight reel in your head. Section 2: You Gotta Believe, helps you with setting goals, learning the three “C’s” of Confidence, Courage, and Commitment, and how to train your brain for peak performance.

My whole life, I was an athlete. I played football, basketball and baseball in high school and went to William and Mary on a football scholarship. After college, I played professional football overseas, which was when I got injured. Looking back, it's easy to see how that injury became a game-changing moment in my life. Although it meant that I was no longer going be a professional-level athlete, it also led me to the realization that I wanted to work with athletes. Today I work with some of the world's best athletes including NFL MVPs, MLB and NBA All-Stars, Super Bowl champions and Olympic gold medalists.One of the things I learned as I recovered from that injury was that mindset means everything. Getting your mind right is what allows you to overcome any adversity. It's what led me to discover that a setback does not need to define you. Instead a setback can actually become a setup. In my case, that injury set me up to live my life purpose, which is to create, motivate and inspire people to greatness.Whether I am working with athletes, business owners, executives or leaders in their field, one defining trait of anyone who wants to reach their optimal potential is that they have the mindset of a champion. That means they are focused on what they want to achieve, and they do whatever it takes to make it happen. In other words, they consistently work to get 1% better - every single day! They do that by surrounding themselves with positivity, visualizing their goals, following their purpose, and doing simple things like reading books that motivate and inspire them.Because you are holding this book in your hands I can see that you, too, are ready to be inspired.

Through their experience, they have learned what it takes to create champions - whether you are playing on the field or off. In these pages, you are going to read their stories and discover their secrets to becoming a top performer, whether you are a youth athlete, a professional athlete, or anyone in between. They are going to show you that being an athlete goes way beyond sets and reps.
