“Focused and On Fire” is a fresh, smart, and moving book for all ages. Coach Lisa Mitzel portrays an authentic view of the athlete’s inner journey. She takes readers through highs and lows to reflect on thoughts and feelings, and brings light to inspiration in confronting battles and reaching goals. While training and competing, Lisa experienced injuries, surgeries, psychological fears, and intense training with sport psychologists. She fought and overcame all of it to win championships. As a coach and mental training expert, her stories and curriculum teach methods to manage doubt, distraction, fear, pressure, and how to manifest success. Included in the book are core mental skills (breathing, relaxing, positive self-talk, visualization, recall, and concentration) critical mindsets (like volition, expectancy, present-moment awareness, acceptance, letting go, and resilience), simple exercises, true inspiring stories of athlete-clients and teams who overcame challenges, and fun illustrations that enhance Lisa's powerful messages. Readers will learn self-awareness, higher-mind thinking, and the practice of believing that anything’s possible. This book is a rare gem, and kids and parents can read and practice the tools together. You have incredible inner power...use it!
