Inner Drive: Passion over Performance
There’s more going on in an athlete’s head than the desire to win and it’s time to bring these thoughts out of the shadows.
The path to success in athletics can feel taxing and never-ending. We often celebrate the tangible results but fail to recognize the internal mental struggle that comes with the journey.
The pressure to perform, unmet expectations, deteriorating self-esteem, and the mental health issues that arise haunt those involved in the game. But as long as you’re winning, no one thinks there’s a problem.
This book takes an honest look at what goes on behind closed doors; the fears, worries and doubts that never get expressed out loud and what thoughts go unsaid.
Emily Coffman, a former Division I athlete, uses poetry and prose to tell her story of finding peace within the chaos. In Inner Passion over Performance, she will change your understanding of success away from physical accomplishments and help you discover your own inner strength and drive.

Emily Coffman has done it again
An open, honest, raw and realistic point of view as a student athlete, Emily Coffman eloquently captivates the complex inner feelings of student athletes all over the world. While everyone sees the physical toll that collegiate sports take on as student athletes, Coffman takes us inside the brain and the heart of them, and describes the very complicated mental and emotional toll. An absolute must read to any high school athlete considering collegiate sports, current collegiate athletes, or retired collegiate athletes trying to find their way, and of course friends and family of those who want to offer support.
