WHAT READERS ARE SAYING5* "A great little book for young rugby league players, to build their mental resilience."
"I bought all the] Rugby League books from J P Kelly, which have seemingly come out of nowhere... Aimed at a more junior audience, I'd say this is perfect for u13 level, and is a really helpful guide for youth players on mental resilience. It references both Super League and NRL stars... Bite size chapters, with clear summaries, I finished this quite quickly, and have recommended my son reads it right away. The content couldn't be better." - Amazon Customer (Verified Purchase)
