It's not much of a secret: No one has it all figured out. If they did, it would mean they've reached their final destination-nothing more to do, no more challenges to face. The good news is that one does not need to have all the answers to be able to maximize their potential and perform at their best. Backing yourSELF offers various mental and physical practices to uncloud the mind and enhance focus, so whether a person attempts to achieve more on the field, in the boardroom, or even family life, this book will guide them on their journey. Building on the methods outlined in the author's previous book, Minding yourSELF, for how to approach training, nutrition, and the work-life balance, Backing yourSELF offers further practical examples for performing at one's best-in daily life, in work, or in sports. It will guide readers in those practical steps that will help attach true meaning to what it is to fulfill their potential.
