Motivational trainer Michael Finnegan has written this book to encourage young people to achieve what they can from life. It is based on interviews with sporting heroes including Martin Johnson, Beth Tweddle, Gordon Banks and, er, Phil Neville that reveal how they set and achieved their goals. The book suggests success is based on positive attitude, hard work and commitment rather than pure talent or, less still, luck. Using anecdotes, cartoons and simple exercises, it explains how successful sports people have developed and honed their abilities, along with mental strength. Strategies include cultivating friends, developing phrases to focus on positive attitudes, learning from negative experiences and how to identify your dreams. Young readers are encouraged to share their insight with coaches, parents and friends.
