Elite Athletes

By Francisca de Lima

What makes an athlete different? Where does the desire to overcome difficulties and the mental strength to face challenges throughout their career come from?

Many of them pursued the dream of becoming a sports icon and had to deal with pressures that affected their mental well-being from an early age. They worked to overcome limiting beliefs, lack of family support, financial struggles, discrimination, injuries, cultural differences, and the harsh reality of starting in a youth academy. At some point, they sought professional help during their short careers to achieve their goals.

This book reveals that the path to success for an athlete is challenging, but with a strong mental approach and external support in the various aspects of their life-both on and off the field-they can reach their ultimate goal: becoming a true elite athlete.
