Synopsis

In this inspirational fable, Jack McKee is a professional golfer who has just suffered through the most humiliating meltdown of his career. After years of struggle, he is ready to quit on his dream. He has convinced himself he doesn't have what it takes to make it on the PGA Tour. In an attempt to figure out why his career has ended up the way it has, Jack reaches out to one of the game's greatest former players for advice. This legendary golfer teaches Jack that the problem is not in his swing, but in his mind. As Jack learns to combat his thoughts of self-doubt and worry, his golf game improves right along with his mindset, culminating in the most important tournament of his career.

As this story plays out, you will learn: how to take control of your thoughts and make sure they are working for you instead of against you; the importance of talking to yourself instead of listening to yourself; how to develop a mental routine that will keep you in a positive state of mind; the technique used by many of the world's most successful people to make gratitude a part of their daily lives; the fastest way to fight off worry and negative thoughts; how to protect your mind from negative, anxiety-producing, and failure-oriented messages; the importance of your self-image; the key to performing at your best under pressure; how to find peace and confidence; and more.

About Darrin Donnelly

Darrin Donnelly is a writer and entrepreneur. He and his products have been featured in publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, Fast Company magazine, and newspapers, websites, and radio outlets all over the world.

Based on his twenty years of experience as an entrepreneur, Donnelly believes that the most reliable and trustworthy advice for achieving your goals and improving your life is found in the world of sports. Though the business guru often has an incentive to portray a certain brand image that may not be completely accurate and the self-help guru can be tempted to make promises that are too good to be true, the achiever in sports can't fudge (or inherit) his results.

Donnelly's Sports for the Soul series of books are inspirational stories that teach essential life lessons. In the tradition of classics like Rocky and Field of Dreams, these stories are set in the world of sports and though the main characters in these books are usually coaches or athletes, they represent anyone with a big dream and the desire to be successful. The seasons and games they endure represent the seasons of life we all must go through when trying to master a new skill, achieve a new goal, or rebound from a setback. The lessons you learn in these books will show you how to overcome adversity and achieve your goals-whatever they may be.

Donnelly lives in Kansas City with his wife and three kids.

Goodreads review by Jay

I couldn't put this book down even though I pretty much predicted the outcome from the beginning. But I suppose it could have ended differently, if the author had chosen to do that. But it wouldn't have made his point that changing the way you think will change who you become. Your thoughts create f......more

Goodreads review by Richie

I thought it was a true story at first. About half way through I reread the summary and realized it was a "fable" and i lost interest a little bit. However it has some great central ideas that are very practical. Despite the way most sports analogies are oversimplified compared to real life, I find......more

Great Read Donnelly did what Donnelly does, teach life lessons through the vehicle of sport. Like his previous books, The Mental Game is a grandslam! I would highly recommend to anyone that finds themselves as their own worst and most demanding critic... which is pretty much everyone at some season i......more
