Maximum Composure: Dominate Emotions with the Adaptive Mindset System

By Lisa D. Lucchesi, Stephanie Cunha, Lisa Lucchesi

Product description

A composed athlete remains put together, regardless of circumstances and it is reflected in their body language, attitude, and overall presence.
Composure starts with attitude, how a person carries themselves. It means having a certain style in and outside the game. It is not about what you do; it's how you do it. The Adaptive Mindset System is composed of the ultimate elements you must dominate to develop maximum composure. This book is packed with practical exercises that will have an immediate impact on your emotional well-being and ultimately your performance.
