Críticas:

''As I reflect back on my personal quest to develop character through the sport of football, I greatly identify with the wisdom and principles of this book. Stillpower is a profound playbook for the athletic and life journey. Garret Kramer shows us that a person becomes what he thinks in his heart, not in his head.'' -- Tyrone Keys "Super Bowl-winning defensive end for the Chicago Bears, founder of All-Sports Community Services"

"In covering sports for more than twenty years, I am always looking for what separates the good athletes from the great ones. Garret Kramer looks outside the box when it comes to athletics . . ." Stillpower" is a must-read for someone serious about performance, or for the casual fan who wants to learn what really makes athletes tick--on and off the field."

--Ian Eagle, CBS Sports/YES Network/Westwood One Radio

"A clear and quiet state of mind isn't just a key element in sports; it's also important in finance, relationships, and life. The principles introduced in this book apply to so much more than athletics."

--Jean Chatzky, author of the "New York Times "bestseller "Money 911"

"Garret Kramer has overturned much of the conventional wisdom about coaching and performance . . . "Stillpower" is an insightful and profound book."

--Daniel H. Pink, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Drive "and "A Whole New Mind"

"The brilliance of Garret Kramer's perspective is that he takes the often complicated process of achieving one's best performance and turns it into a direct, natural, and positive understanding . . . "Stillpower" provides the simple, yet powerful message the sports world has been looking for."

--Sean Hutchison, US Olympic swimming coach

"As I reflect back on my personal quest to develop character through the sport of football, I greatly identify with the wisdom and principles of this book. "Stillpower" is a profound playbook for the athletic and life journey. Garret Kramer shows us that people become what they think in their heart, not in their head."

--Tyrone Keys, founder of All Sports Community Services, Super Bowl-winning defensive end--Chicago Bears

""Stillpower" is not just one of the best books on improving sports performance ever written--it is a must-read for coaches and performers in any field of human endeavor. While you work on your game or career, the ideas in this book will go to work on you."

--Michael Neill, author of "Supercoach"

"The message introduced in this book is the reverse of any mental strategy or technique that I have ever tried. "Stillpower" has shown me that my thoughts and moods create my perceptions. So, instead of being victimized by my circumstances, I determine my own performance level--no matter what is happening outside of me.

As a result of understanding the principles of thought and consciousness, I now find myself in 'the zone' way more often. Thanks to Garret Kramer I just had the best year of my professional career."

--Colin Wilson, Nashville Predators forward

"I first heard Garret Kramer speak in 2009, and I was instantly intrigued by his message and approach to athletic mental performance. "Stillpower" takes a unique perspective that will challenge your traditional beliefs. If you keep an open mind and really listen to what this book has to say, you will realize how much easier and more positive life can be, and why the notion of 'no pain, no gain' will never help in your pursuit of success."

--Rob Naddelman, president of Baseball Factory

"I was first introduced to sports psychology in the 1970s when I was playing professional baseball. Like all athletes, I was constantly in search of that magical place called 'the zone, ' where the game slows down and pitches are suddenly easy to track. Contrary to what most people think, however, finding your way to 'the zone' doesn't come from grinding or strength of will-- it comes from another source. Stillpower reveals this surprising source. If you're a serious athlete, coach, sports parent--in fact, anyone--I strongly suggest you read what Garret Kramer has to say about getting to the top of your game, on and off the field."

--Rick Wolf, sports psychology expert and host of THE SPORTS EDGE, WFAN Radio, New York

Reseña del editor:

Unlock the keys to happiness and freedom, fuel performance, and achieve excellence in sports and in life with the clarity of stillpower—finding the ultimate zone within.

What if everything you’ve been taught about performance is wrong? When the going gets tough, stillpower—not will power—is the best response. For years, athletes, coaches, parents, and organizations have searched for the secrets to optimum mental performance. Stillpower offers a simple, revolutionary, yet dynamic, approach for the future.

Stillpower uses real-life examples to explore such questions as: What is “the zone” and what must we do (or not do) to get there? Why do we need to understand the difference between insight and intellect? Is goal setting really useful? Why doesn’t willpower work? And why do the best mentors focus on a person’s state of mind and not behavior? Virtually all of us—athletes and non-athletes alike—are looking outside of ourselves, trying to find the secret to success. Stillpower encourages us to look within to finally find the answers.
