What counts in battle is what you do once the pain sets in. Gold medals are not really made of gold. They’re made of sweat, determination and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.
Dan Gable
Not to dare is to lose oneself.
Søren Kierkegaard

“I’m Dr. Rob Gilbert and for the last 34 years I’ve been teaching sport psychology at Montclair State University in New Jersey. Over the years, I’ve helped thousands of athletes just like you do their best when it means the most.

Tomorrow, you have an important competition, tournament, match or game. Let me ask you four questions.

#1. Suppose you stay up all night tonight lifting weights. Will you be stronger tomorrow? Of course not.

#2. Suppose you run all night. Will you be faster and have more endurance tomorrow? Definitely not.

#3. Suppose you spend all night practicing. Will you be more skilled tomorrow? Once again, no, no, no.

#4. BUT . . . can you have a better ATTITUDE tomorrow than you have right now? Absolutely!

You can’t improve your strength, speed, or skill overnight, but you can improve your attitude. In other words, between tonight and tomorrow, you can go from a losing attitude to a winning attitude.

That’s exactly what this book will do for you. This book will show you exactly what to do so you can . . .

HAVE THE MINDSET OF A WINNER.”

~ Rob Gilbert, Ph.D. from Read This Book Tonight To Help You Win Tomorrow

I got this book on the STRONG recommendation of my dear friend Brian Cain.

Cainer’s client list includes four Major League Baseball Cy Young Award winners, eight UFC world champion mixed martial artists, World Series and Super Bowl Champions and MVPs, Olympic medalists, and countless other elite athletes and coaches. We’ve featured a couple of his books including The 10 Pillars of Mental Performance Mastery and One Percent Better.

Cainer is a HUGE fan of Dr. Rob Gilbert and his “Success Hotline.”

Dr. Rob has been teaching sports psychology since 1979. And, he’s been dominating a daily inspiring message for OVER 30 YEARS. As of this writing (Dec 2023), he’s produced nearly 12,000 (!) daily messages. It used to be available via a message left on his “success hotline” at 973-743-4690. Now, the folks at Ironclad have turned it into a podcast you can listen to here.

This book is a SUPER conversational, quick-reading look at how to, as per the sub-title, “Get Mentally Primed to Perform Your Best” by, as per the sub-sub-title, “Using Inspirational Stories, Practical Sports Psychology Tips and Over 120 of the Greatest Motivational Sports Quotes.”

It’s packed with Big Ideas and I’m excited to share a handful of my favorites so let’s jump straight in!
