The true quality of your mind reveals itself when you’re not performing as well as you’d like. Responding to such moments with calm and focus is not something the human body is naturally equipped for—it needs to be trained. That’s where the MindSkills System comes in, integrating attitudes and practical skills into your consciousness, enabling you to keep a cool head in critical moments.

This book combines insights from neuroscience, sports psychology, evolutionary biology, and ancient martial arts. From childhood, we are taught geography, chemistry, and more, yet we are rarely taught about the workings of the most powerful computer we carry within us—our brain. Once you understand how the brain works and how it learns, you gain an undeniable unfair advantage.

After reading this book, you won’t just become a more resilient player but also a better, more balanced individual with the right values. Upgrading your operating system, known as the mind, is only the beginning of a journey toward deeper understanding.
