One Day Better - by Jeff Troesch (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The best athletes redefine the limits of human performance with regularity. Sports are a crucible for spectacular moments where anxiety, pressure, and doubt seem to melt away, but there's more to the story. Over his accomplished career serving individual and team sports, Jeff Troesch has helped countless athletes and coaches achieve excellence in the junior, collegiate, and professional ranks. In One Day Better he shares the multifaceted approach his clients use to elevate their mental acumen and resilience for the highest levels of performance.

The path to mental performance is unique to each individual--there is no list of absolutes.

The pursuit of excellence also plays out in the rest of life, and often with higher stakes. Troesch guides a process of personal discovery, cultivating the discipline and awareness that facilitate growth and effectiveness, inspiring more pros and amateurs, athletes and everyday people to commit to becoming one day better, every day.
