You Be A Top Sport Achiever Too is for people at work who also train and compete, and for anyone who finds the language of sport a helpful way to think about effort, goals and growth in their working life.
It draws on sports psychology about how champions build mental skills alongside physical ones. Here you will find wisdom on dreaming big, setting objectives you can reach, rehearsing success in your mind, keeping passion alive, learning from a mentor, meeting problems with a positive attitude and taking action.
You receive a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. Each A4 card has a theme, a short description and an image on the front, and on the back a gathering of quotes from many voices and wisdom traditions, with room to write your own notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book with a clickable contents page and a dedication written for you. The themes follow seven principles of athletic excellence: Have a Dream, Specific Achievable Objectives, Preview Achievements, Cultivate Passion and Desire, Have a Good Mentor, Positive Attitude to Problems, and Take Action.
On WorkSmart4Life it is included in the role track The Corporate Athlete and sits on the WorkSmart library shelf. The sales page suggests a seven-week cycle with one principle a week, so I suggest you begin with Have a Dream and let the next principle follow each week.
