Control the Controllables: Mindset, Pressure, and the Power of Control

by Raymont Harris

Pressure is messy. It builds in quiet moments and breaks through when you least expect it. Most of the time, no one sees it but you.



Control the Controllables  is part memoir, part mindset blueprint. Raymont Harris walks through the moments that changed him. The ones that didn't come with applause. Losing his mother at birth. Fighting for respect in the NFL. Figuring out who he was after football, when nothing felt solid. This isn't theory. It's lived experience.



He breaks down eight controllables that helped him hold steady when everything around him wasn't. Not tricks. Not hacks. Just hard-earned truths built from pain, growth, and repetition.



If you're carrying pressure, this book speaks to it. If you're rebuilding, it won't lie to you. If you're still moving forward, even while things feel uncertain, you're already living what this book is built on.

Excellent book with lots of practical application! Raymont shares personal stories that are relatable and creates the steps to take back control and live a meaningful life. I really enjoyed applying the steps to my new stage in life and business that I am creating. Great read for all ages and all gave an inside look at big time college football & life in the NFL (& what happens when it’s over).

Harris does a great job providing a direct and simple way to do the hard work and control what you can control in the pressures of life, while offering great insights from his unique life.
