How to get recruited to your dream school and perform at your best!
Coach McDermott wrote this book/peak performance program with one clear mission: to ignite the spirits of college and youth athletes everywhere, propelling them into action and guiding them towards the habits essential for triumph…both on and off the field. In a world brimming with motivational coaches and inspiring reads, Tim recognized a crucial gap—athletes often find themselves bursting with energy but lacking direction. What they crave is not more motivation, but a roadmap. Amidst perfecting their technique and game strategies, they thirst for a systematic approach to fortify their confidence, resilience, focus, leadership prowess, and sheer love for training. By honing these foundational skills, athletes not only edge closer to their ambitions but paradoxically enhance their technical proficiency and strategic acumen to become worthy of reaching the goals they set for themselves. Enter The Dojo Decision—your trusty companion throughout the sporting season, primed to help you:
- Define your aspirations (Identify your goal)!
- Calculate the price tag of those aspirations (Identify your micro-habits)!
- And keep you steadfastly committed to paying that price every single day, cultivating your inner superpowers.
The Dojo Decision is a must-read for athletes, coaches and parents who want to perform at their best! Coach McDermott’s enthusiasm leaps off the pages to fuel your desire to create an amazing life—0n and off the field. This book will not only motivate you toward greatness, but will transform your energy and daily habits into meaningful accomplishments.
