Product Description:
10-Minute Toughness is a solid mental training program. In fact I feel it is the best of its kind. . . . [It's] what the title says: ten minutes a day that connects your talents and abilities to the outcome you're seeking. As a retired NFL player looking forward, I can see as many applications for the toughness Jason Selk's program brought out of me in the business world as there were on the football field.

Summary: Effective tools for mental toughness
Rating: 5
What I like best about 10-Minute Toughness is that I am able to take the
concepts from the page easily to the field.
As a 9-year professional baseball player, I've read other sport psychology books, but I think this book provides athletes the most concrete tools, useful on a daily basis.
Especially great is how Selk integrates visualization into the "Personal Highlight Reel". It makes for a interesting and effective performance tool that I enjoy using regularly.
As a baseball instructor, I have recommended this book to parents and young athletes, who have benefited. Students have been more focused and motivated as they learn how to set and meet goals, use "positive self-talk" and learn how to better control their emotional state in practice and games.
Alongside a few strength training, baseball specific&sports nutrition books, I've put 10-Minute Toughness on a very short list of go-to books for both in-season and off season.

Summary: ten minute toughness
Rating: 5
I have been an amateur athlete for over 20 years and have never been able to perform at my peak consistently during competition. This book has given me specific tools to not only prepare for competition, but perform at my best when it counts. I now use some of the basic tools that the books teaches with my kids in their sports. It is by far the best book I have read on the subject of sports psychology or mental training, and I highly recommend it.
