Sample Book Insights: #1 When I was hired as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons in 2008, they had never had back-to-back winning seasons. The team was struggling with consistency and sustainability. I knew the first step I needed to take was to create a winning culture in which every member could thrive and excel. #2 I had to build the Falcons’ culture from the bottom up. I made sure the owner and leaders were an integral part of the process, and I knew that to create a winning team on the field, I needed to involve more than just leadership, players, and staff. #3 The culture of a team is made up of the shared purpose, attitudes, values, goals, practices, and behaviors that define it. Everyone in an organization shapes the culture, and to be successful, you need everyone to be aligned with the same beliefs, expectations, behaviors, and habits. #4 The most important aspect of team sports is the culture, which is created by the leaders and coaches. It is the culture that will determine whether your players perform and execute.

Book excerpt: From one of the world’s top performance psychologists—a proven framework for overcoming the primary obstacle to success: fear In more than 20 years helping leaders and athletes reach their true potential, renowned sports psychologist and culture coach Dr. Pippa Grange has found that even the most successful people experience fears of inadequacy. What sets them apart is their ability to pinpoint their fears and “turn down the volume.” In Fear Less, Grange walks you through the process of identifying and facing the fears that manifest in perfectionism, jealousy, self-criticism, and harsh judgment, and replacing those fears with acceptance, purpose, passion, or laughter―to name just a few. And she provides effective fear-management techniques for facing moments of critical pressure, including: Processing – through conscious tactics that bring the mind back to where you want it: the job at hand Distraction – deliberately focusing on other tasks when there’s nothing active to be done about what you actually fear Rationalization – drawing on the actual facts and evidence to talk yourself through the situation Our hidden fears are what make us feel our lives aren’t enough, that prompt us to spend our time worrying about competition, status, and control. Fear is what turns life into a battle, telling us we need to hide our real selves and that we’re not good enough. Fear Less gives you the tools you need to practice your responses to fear in the same way elite athletes train for and perform at a big game―with equally dramatic results. You’ll gain the knowledge and insight you need to change your perspective and move beyond fear to a place of joy, fulfillment, and meaning.
