You Versus Yourself

If you have passion and focus, and if you are willing to work hard, you can be whatever you want to be. Determination and grit are far more important than talent.” Exceptional success comes from your talent multiplied by your behavior. “Performance = Capability × Behavior.”Everyone has dreams, but to achieve them, we need to stop competing with others and start competing with ourselves.That’s the bold assertion from soccer coach Jason Carney, who has been involved in youth and professional sports for more than twenty-five years. In this goal-achieving guidebook, he explores how to:• get more out of yourself and players—be they athletes or employees;• work toward becoming the best version of yourself;• focus on the things you can control;• start thinking about “we” before “me.”By sharing his experiences as a child, friend, father, husband, and mentor, the author provides insights on how to look at life differently as you start moving toward your dreams.
