We detail 9 chapters of the book including conversations on “I don’t believe in myself”, “I hit the ball when I know I’m not ready”, “I care too much about score, results and my reputation”.

Dr. Robert K Winters, affectionately known as Dr. Bob, specializes in sports and personal performance training. He holds a Ph.D. in Sport Psychology from The University of Virginia, a B.S. and Master of Arts degree from Ball State University.
