An in-depth mental motivational book for all athletes from Olympian Dr. Joanna Zeiger that offers game-changing strategies for programming your brain to achieve physical excellence. Champions, as the familiar adage preaches, are not born—they're made. Reaching the top of any sport, or any aspect of life, takes years upon years of dedication and proper preparation. But if there's a huge pool of individuals who have undertaken the same commitment and steps towards becoming the best, what truly separates the winners from everyone else? Joanna Zeiger believes proper mental preparation is the answer. The Champion Mindset is a much-needed and long overdue look into how to program a competitor's mind to achieve optimal success. Changing behaviors and ways of thinking are never easy, but the chapters in this book aim to simplify this process to make it manageable and achievable. This book is for every athlete—from the weekend warrior, who wants to complete in his or her first 5k running race, to those who have aspirations of one day becoming Olympians and world champions. The Champion Mindset is a compendium of Zeiger's own personal journey from struggling novice swimmer to Olympian and World Champion. Through steps including: Proper Goal Setting, Keeping it Fun, Building Your Team, Intention in Training, Improving Motivation, Promoting Self-Confidence, and Mind/Body Cohesion, among others, Zeiger uses her decades of personal experience, doctoral-level research, and professional success, to prepare readers to go all-in with their mental game.

This updated, third edition of CareerBall presents a timeless, step-by-step guide for leveraging your athlete DNA in the workplace, in job interviews and successfully navigating today's fast-changing job market. Each year over 200,000 competitive athletes make the transition from the structured life of high school, college, and competitive athletics to jobs and careers that will fulfill their life's potential. For many, this transitional period will be navigated gracefully and without incident; for many others it will be a confusing and frustrating experience. To help these athletes get started, the contents of CareerBall are presented in a 'keep it simple' format. It's part lecture, part how-to manual, and with many different chapters to allow you to cherry-pick the knowledge within, depending upon where you are in your own career development. Inside each chapter resides some of the most important tried-and-true, up-to-date gems of career advice that you can use to ensure a happy path when you have concluded full-time athletics. My Best Advice? "Don't be asleep at the switch. Get yourself a copy of CareerBall! Unless you're making seven-figures a year and signed to a multi-year contract, being a good athlete is no guarantee that you will succeed in your career after sports...or for that matter, even find a job".
