Customer Reviews

Really helped with my long distance
A friend recommended 10 Minute Toughness to help give me a mental edge while running. I had always wanted to run in marathons, but my breathing hindered me from running long distances. The centering breath and mental workout have really helped me mentally and physically. The plan is easy to follow, and it has now become second nature to me. I can run twice as far as I could a year ago. I am not a coach, but I highy suggest this book for coaches of all ages.

Great for Weight Loss
I have applied these principles of the mental toughness to loose weight and work out at my peak performance. The biggest problem for me has been weight loss, but this mental work-out is empowering and life changing. It will work in many aspects of life to lead to higher success and a happier outlook to problems. I highly reccomend to those that struggle with a weight problem.

A Coach's Perspective
I have been coaching athletes from the ages of 8 to 18 for years. I have incorporating the 10-Minute Toughness, metal-training program with my team. The results have been so dramatic that this book is a must read for every coach and athlete.
