If “ultra running is 90% mental and the other 10% is in your head”, shouldn’t we train our brain? Is there a repeatable process for winning?
Lanny Bassham went from a kid that others said would never compete as an athlete to a 2-time Olympic medalist and 4-time world champion with four world records. All winners have common threads that they do differently than everyone else. He has discovered a formula to preparing mentally to be a champion. Since retiring from competition, he continues as a coach to many World and Olympic champions, Fortune 500 companies, the United States Secret Service, the US Navy SEALS, the United States Army Marksmanship Unit, the US Marine Corps Marksmanship Unit, and the FBI.
“With Winning in Mind” is in it’s third edition and is a MUST read for all Nation Members.
