As you ponder whether or not this book is for you, think about your life. How well are you performing in the areas of your life you deem to be most important? Are you thriving or just surviving? Are you at the top of your game or sitting on the bench, watching others play, wishing you could be the star performer? No matter how you’ve answered these questions, you’re going to want to read this book. Why? You already know that good performance coaching is like eating healthy food. What you eat inuences your energy and your body’s performance. So eating healthy food just makes good sense. But what controls how well you perform? What you think controls how you perform -- pure cause and effect. Your thinking is the cause. Your performance is the effect. So think- ing the right thoughts (and acting on them) makes great sense. In fact, it makes Perfor- mance Champions. And a steady diet of “high-performance thought food” is contained in 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class. It’s your recipe for a great life, the “thought food” of champions. Oh, did I mention that you, too, are a coach? You are the one who chooses your thought food. You’re the one who swallows your thought food. And, you’re the only one who is accountable for what you swallow (think). For better or worse, you are your own head coach, the coach of what thoughts are in your head. But don’t despair, Steve is here to save the day. Steve is my good friend and your primary assistant coach. He’s here to assist you in making the best choices possible -- the thoughts you feed your brain. He does this by studying the thought diets of the highest performers in a variety of elds. No surprise, the best of the best feed their brains similar thought foods. This book shares this food with you. Steve makes it easy and convenient for you to say, “I’ll have what the champion perform- ers are having.” If you want to Be like a champion, you’ve got to Think like a champion. Come on coach, start the Mental Toughness diet now! Start today Playing to Win the Great Game of Your Life. There’s a champion performer inside you just waiting to Get in the Game and lead a life really worthy of living. Larry Wilson Founder Wilson Learning Co-author of Play to Win, Choosing growth over fear in work and in life and author of the personal growth process, The Great Game of Life viii 177 MENTAL TOUGHNESS SECRETS OF THE WORLD CLASS 177 MENTALINTRODUCTION TOUGHNESS SECRETS OF THE WORLD CLASS I have had the privilege of competing against, coaching, being coached by and observing world-class performers since I was six years old. As a junior tennis player competing throughout the United States from ages 7-18, I became fascinated with what it takes to become a champion. My dream was to be ranked among the Top 10 players in the world, but I fell short. At my best, I hovered around the Top 500 in the world, and that’s as high as I could seem to reach. Deep down, I knew I had the talent to make my dream a reality, and I knew the missing link was mental. After I hung up my racquet for the last time, I became obsessed with uncovering the mental toughness secrets of champions. Starting in 1984, I spent every free moment conducting interviews with champions, reading their books and studying everything I could get my hands on about the psychology of peak performance. My friends said I was obsessed. They were right. This book is the result of my 20-year obsession. When I started to implement the ideas in this book, my whole life changed. It wasn’t over- night, but sometimes it seemed like it. There’s no magic here, just practical thought pro- cesses, habits and philosophies drawn from the greatest performers in the world. This book contains no theories. Every secret comes straight from the street of experience, either my own or that of our clients. This book is loaded with ideas you can implement immediately. Some will be familiar, and some new. All of them have the power to catapult your results, no matter how high you’re ying. As a matter of fact, the people who get the most value out of our mental toughness process are the world class. They are always trying to gain an edge and get better, which is one of the reasons I think so highly of them. I’ve held nothing back in this book, which means that at times you may nd yourself slightly offended. This book is constantly comparing ‘average people’ with ‘world-class people’. These terms are used to get your attention and make you ask, “Which one am I?” Of course there are no ‘average people’, just average performers getting average results. We are all equal as human beings. I simply use these terms in reference to performance and results. It’s been said that speakers and writers espouse wisdom on the very topic they need most. Now that you know my story, you know this is true for me. After 20 years of studying and teaching mental toughness to people throughout the United States, Canada, and 10 other countries, I can honestly tell you that many times I still think like a complete amateur, operating out of the same middle-class consciousness that I ridicule in this book.

Professor of Creative Writing THE VIOLENCE ALMANAC Miah Joseph Jeffra San Francisco, California 2018 The Violence Almanac addresses the relationships between natural phenomena, particularly in geology and biology, and the varied types of violence experienced in American society. Violence is at the core of the collection—how it is caused, how it effects the body and the body politic, and how it might be mitigated. Violence is also defined in myriad ways, from assault to insult to disease to oppression. Many issues of social justice are explored through this lens of violence, and ultimately the book suggests that all oppressive forces function similarly, and that to understand our nature is to understand our culture, and its predilection for oppression. I certify that the Annotation is a correct representation of the content of this written creative work. ' Chair, Written Creative Work Committee Date ACKNO WLEDG EMENT Thank you to Lambda Literary, Ragdale and the Hub City Writers Project, for allowing me the space to write these stories.

Designed and built in-house by our staff of engineers, this robotic “Drum Machine,” called the Gluing Gantry, ensures that every Evans head has a true collar. A series of vacuum fixtures holds the film in place for each head while the robotic gluing arm circles above the hoop and dispenses epoxy. The result is a drumhead that tunes both easily and consistently. At Evans, we do it right the first time. And every time. Check out what Peter Erskine has to say about Evans drumheads at www.evansdrumheads.com PO Box 290 • Farmingdale, NY 11735 We’ve been making the world’s finest sticks for years. And experience tells us that there are no shortcuts when it comes to making a stick. There is, however a very good short- cut when choosing one. The journey from wooden dowel to finished drumstick is a tough one. Each stick makes its way through the hands of several craftsmen before it leaves us. And at every test, there’s always the chance of getting turned into firewood. But it does get easier when our sticks reach the store. Because once you feel a pair in your hands, you’ll appreciate the time it spent in ours.
