Ten stars for the book and narration. Every athlete’s bible in becoming better. I wish I had known this book earlier but it’s never too late. All thanks to the bookshelf of Victor Crouin 😌

A great source of information/motivation on how the athlete can progress in their sport and become “Champion Minded”.
I would recommend to any competitive sports person because it is really insightful and inspiring.
The book can get quite repetitive at times but I think that just reiterates the writer’s points.
