  Finally! There is A Mental Toughness Book For Young Athletes!Troy Horne here. Your mental toughness guide! I know exactly how you feel. You probably have a young athlete who struggles with in-game stress and maybe even sports performance anxiety.  This is the only book that I know of with input from an actual young athlete.  I am here to help you parents understand how to help your kiddo navigate this mental toughness journey.  That's why I wrote the Mental Toughness for Young Athletes: Eight Proven 5-Minute Mindset Exercises For Kids And Teens In Competitive Sports (Parent's Guide) In the past I have purchased a lot of books about mental toughness in sports. Most of the books that I read were not written for youth athletes in COMPETITIVE sports. There is a difference. Since there wasn't anything out there for elite athletes we took the long journey of ups and downs for you. IT WAS ROUGH! Luckily along the way we found a winning formula! My son Moses and I launched a podcast together (HOOPCHALK BASKETBALL PODCAST) and on it we interviewed sports mental toughness giants like....- Chauncey Billups- Tywanna Smith- Keiko Yoshimine- Earl Boykins- Jason Richardson and - Kobe Bryant!We studied what they did and said based on our interviews with them and we came up with a mental toughness plan that worked! Does your child perform better in practice than they do in the game or when the "Lights Come On"?Do they seem like they are losing their love for the game?Do you want to help them?If you answered yes to these questions then you are in the right place. I look forward to sharing what we learned with you!

  Jesus in my Corner - A Boxer's...

  Jesus in My Corner, written by Andy Flute, chronicles his struggle to overcome a myriad of life-long challenges with violence and alcohol. For over 30 years, violence and alcohol were Andy's daily bread until, one day, by the power of prayer, he managed to achieve what no amount of alcohol or prison incarceration could ever achieve. When he was at the point of death, intoxicated with alcohol following a ten-day binging session, I went to see my old mate and prayed for him with Pastor Steve. Andy was fighting the demon of alcohol and he was on the ropes, down for the count. Andy, a former captain of the English boxing team and British Middleweight title challenger alongside sparring partner Chris Eubank and other world class fighters, knew what brutal fighting was all about. This fight was different, one he couldn't win on his own strength. Andy felt the intense grip and destructive downward spiral alcohol had on his life. Battered and bleeding, with no more strength, he cried out to Jesus. In a truly miraculous turnaround, Andy found Jesus in his corner and almost instantaneously gave up alcohol. During the bleakest of moments, he experienced a spiritual awakening. Slowly, he found his way through darkest era of his life. He came to believe a power greater than himself in Jesus. Now with Jesus in his corner, Andy is an active member of Sedgley Community Church. The Bible employs the analogy of wrestling in reference to our warfare with Satan and his hosts. Andy had a fight that only Jesus could referee, this gigantic battle played out until he was baptised in water. Andy Flute's willingness to share the most intimate aspects of his life was born out of a deep desire to help others addicted to alcohol and violence. Despite these daunting events, Andy now works hard to live a normal life and raise a family of his own. He regularly attends prison workshops and shares his testimony in local schools.

  Super Jack - The Jack Grealish...

  Manchester City have signed England midfielder Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for a British record £100m.
  The 25-year-old joins the Premier League champions on a six-year contract and will wear the number 10 shirt recently vacated by Sergio Aguero.
  The fee surpasses the £89m Manchester United paid to re-sign midfielder Paul Pogba from Juventus in 2016.
  "City are the best team in the country with a manager considered to be the best in the world," said Grealish. "It's a dream come true to be part of this club."
  Jack Grealish has the world at his feet but it hasn't been all plain sailing for the 25-year-old super-talented midfielder.
  He has come a long way since his loan spell with lowly Notts County in 2013 as a skinny 18-year-old. After making his Villa debut in the 2014/2015 season, Jack came to life in the FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool and helped his side progress to the final. However, Villa were relegated from the Premier League in the following season.
  Playing under the radar in the Championship for three seasons, Jack found his talents were mainly hidden from wider world; however, the Villa faithful all knew he was a 24-carat diamond in the making. Becoming captain in March 2019 was the making of him as Jack led Villa to a record 10 straight wins and the club back into the big-time.
  England beckoned and eventually came, making his debut in September 2020, and the country was astonished that our best player didn't play more minutes in England's run to the Euro 2020 Final against Italy.
  Obviously Man City boss Pep Guardiola has more faith in him than England manager Gareth Southgate as was evident when he made him Britain's most expensive footballer ever in early August 2021.
