EVERY ATHLETE FAILS. BUT FAILURE IS FIXABLE.
YOU JUST NEED THE RIGHT FORMULA.
In The Pillar B’s, Ray Santiago teaches you why all the background noise-winning a starting spot, earning a college scholarship, getting selected in the draft, or receiving Dad’s approval-pressures you to play perfectly and ruins your enjoyment of the game.
You can’t change the noise. But you can change the way you approach it. No athlete has ever benefitted from self-criticism. So why keep doing it?
When failure finds you-which happens every game-what’s your strategy for rebounding quickly and confidently? Come alongside Ray as he teaches you to become your best coach and how to show up for yourself no matter what.
This book is for anyone who:
– wants to play sports at a high level
– needs help building confidence
– wants to manage their emotions better
– wants to train their brain to help them play consistently well
– struggles with self-criticism and perfectionism
– wants to be their own best coach rather than worst critic
