About Mental Toughness For Young Athletes – Volume 2 Grit – How To Use The Secret Mindset Hack

Finally! Part 2 Of The Best Selling Mental Toughness For Young Athletes Book!

If you are reading this you probably have a young athlete who struggles with in-game stress and maybe even sports performance anxiety. Moses and Troy Horne here again. Your mental toughness guides! Hopefully, you already have the first book. That book (Mental Toughness For Young Athletes – Eight Proven 5-Minute Mindset Exercises For Kids And Teens Who Play Competitive Sports) is the foundation for what you are about to learn in this book.  Like the first book, this book was written by Moses and me as well! This is the second step in the process. You see, we found that once we did all of the stuff in the first book we were met with new challenges. In this book, we talk about how we got through the next level of challenges and how we leveled up.

I’m talking interest from 10 Division 1 schools and counting level up. Yup… This one is about GRIT! That one trait that makes your mental toughness work long term. That one trait that helps your young athlete stand out!

As of the time of the writing of this book Moses Horne is a 16-year-old elite athlete who is the starting PG for “The ROCK school” former high school of Joel Embid! We can talk directly about the triumphs and struggles of working towards being mentally tough. This is the only book (Besides our first book) that is written by a young athlete from an actual young athlete’s perspective.

We know where you are and we know how to help you help your young athlete find their mental fortitude.

Most of the books that we read were not a good fit for young athletes because they were either written for adults or not written for youth athletes in COMPETITIVE sports. There is a difference.

Since there wasn’t anything out there for elite young athletes we created it! 100+ reviews on our last book can’t be wrong!

We took the long journey of ups and downs. We struggled to help our young athlete find his mental toughness. IT WAS ROUGH! Luckily along the way, we found the winning formula thanks to being able to talk with sports icons personally. We launched a podcast together called Hoopchalk Basketball Podcast and on it, we interviewed sports MENTAL TOUGHNESS GIANTS, like…

Chauncey Billups, Tywanna Smith, Keiko Yoshimine, Earl Boykins, Jason Richardson and Kobe Bryant!

We studied what they did and said based on our interviews and we came up with a mental toughness plan that worked!

However, we found that there was another level!  (There are levels kid! – That will be funnier once you read the book!)  We are going to share with you what we learned about taking your mental toughness to the next level. One step closer to MambaMentality!

Is your child super passionate about their sport?

Do they seem like they are losing their love for the game because their teammates may not be as dedicated as they are?

Do you want to help them keep their fire and go on to higher levels of mental toughness?

Does your kid want that on the court and in the locker room fire that gets the attention of high-level coaches?

If you answered yes to these questions then you are in the right place. This book is their second-degree blackbelt in mental toughness and GRIT! This book is part 2 of the answer that you have been looking for! I can say this with confidence because we have used everything that we are going to share with you. This stuff WORKS! I look forward to sharing what we learned with you!

Order your copy now!

Make sure that your youngster doesn’t miss out on going to LEVEL 2 of this mental toughness thing!

Hello Everyone!

So glad that you are here! My hope is that my books help you challenge your current way of thinking about what is possible not only in sports but in life. The power of the mind is unlimited. If you can learn to control your mind the rest of your life will be a lot easier. My hope is that the books that I create will help you live your best life. I also want to be a catalyst to your “Why Not Me” part of life. A little back story about that.

When I was a kid people told me that my dream of becoming a professional musician was “UNREALISTIC” one of my friends at the time even told me when I left to pursue my dreams in Los Angeles and I quote…

“You’ll be back. I’m going to stay here in Houston and I’ll make it before you do.” Challenge accepted. Needless to say despite their words of encouragement. #sarcasm I went on to sign a record deal, tour the Japan, Italy, Denmark, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Switzerland and the United States performing my original music. I also starred on Broadway in the Broadway show R.E.N.T. and did a little television competition show called Starsearch back in high school and NBC’s The Sing Off when I was an adult.

I was able to check off a lot of the “Boxes” and now I want to help you do the same. So you can imagine how the hairs on my neck stood up when my kid’s were told that they couldn’t be what they wanted to be. My eldest son Moses wants to play basketball professionally. So I went out and found out as much about it as possible. During that journey we again did the impossible.

Our little boy interviewed NBA Icons Chauncey Billups, Jason Richardson, Earl Boykins, and Kobe BRYANT! He got to talk with high level coaches and ranked college players. They shared with him the best next steps and so far their advice has been priceless!

Our second little boy wants to be a pro gamer. That research is happening right now and let me tell you it is even more fire than the first journey.

Our little girl wants to be a singer dancer. We got that one under control however, I will be doing some research about that and writing about that as well.

Last but not least I have a goal to reach 30k a month passively so that I can travel the world as they experience all of their amazing career ups and downs. As a result we will be talking about digital entrepreneurship and passive income in my books as well. There will be a lot for your to read. I will be doing most of the work for you. Well, the research part anyways.

Enter all of the research and the books that you are reading. (hopefully) As I went through my life I learned that the reason why most people fail isn’t because they weren’t gifted with some “natural talent”. The reason most people failed was because they don’t do the research and they don’t work on their mind. The internet has really changed the game and my hope is that I can be a little part of why you or your family lives the life of their dreams.

So click around and find the book that applies to you and read it. I will be updating them as often as possible. I look forward to helping you reach your “impossible” goals. See you on the other side!

About 9 Untold Secrets to Pain-free Breastfeeding

Struggling to breastfeed? Discover what the real problem is and how to overcome it with these 9 secrets…
From the moment you find out that you’re going to be a mom, your life changes forever.

The rollercoaster ride of pregnancy is only the beginning of your journey and, after months of anticipation, the last thing on your mind is the challenges you may face once your due date comes.

But, as with pregnancy, postnatal life isn’t always easy.

Maybe you’ve discovered the rarely discussed truth that breastfeeding isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be.

Many moms find themselves learning to navigate feedings and care the hard way, which can be frustrating and isolating in a world that makes it seem like you should have it all figured out.

So why don’t more women talk about the difficulties of breastfeeding?

Maybe you’re ashamed to admit that you’re struggling or have concerns — but you aren’t alone.

In fact, the CDC found that 60% of mothers don’t breastfeed as long as they intend to.

There’s a shocking lack of guidance when it comes to breastfeeding, and many women find themselves feeling lost and confused when they encounter difficulties.

This leads to guilt, shame, and a premature end to breastfeeding for many mothers.

But with the proper insight and advice, you can enjoy a successful, pain-free start to life as a new mom.

In 9 Untold Secrets to Pain-free Breastfeeding, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

Answers to the most critical questions about breastfeeding, including how often to nurse and how to tell if your baby is hungry
An easy-to-understand breakdown of breast anatomy and lactation so you know the processes at work when you breastfeed
A step-by-step guide to encourage proper latching — and why it’s considered the core foundation of a successful breastfeeding experience
Hidden causes of breastfeeding pain — and solutions to help overcome it and relieve discomfort
The 5 simple foods that will safely and effectively increase your milk production
An easy-to-follow introduction to 5 breastfeeding positions — find the perfect fit for both you and your baby!
Proper techniques and strategies that will have you pumping like a pro, even if you’ve never done it before
How to overcome nipple confusion, breast refusal, and other common challenges faced by moms
And much more.

As a mom, it can feel like you’re expected to know precisely how to overcome the challenges that come with a new baby.

When issues arise, as they always do, it’s easy to put pressure on yourself or feel guilty, when in fact, this is a totally normal experience.

You know your body and your baby, and with a little extra guidance from a mom who has been in your shoes, you’ll be on your way to pain-free, no-stress breastfeeding in no time.

Neeraj Rai is a New Age spiritual author. He was born in a farmer family in a small village in Uttar Pradesh, India. Since the early stage of his life, questions such as what is the purpose of life? Why he has come into this world? What is the deeper meaning of his life? etc started bothering him but he could not find any answer. He tried to search it in various theories of Science and Philosophy but all went in vain. His inner struggle and search for the truth ultimately led him to the spiritual path and at the age of 32, he started his pursuit of spirituality. During his strive and struggle, one day he encountered a very strange experience. In the state of meditation, he lost his sense of "I". He experienced that "I" was just a deep-rooted thought which was disappeared. He was observing his own thoughts and feelings as a distant and independent observer and there was no reference point as an individual "I". That was a very liberating and insightful experience which transformed his life. He realized that self-identity is just an illusion which enslaves and keeps human beings imprisoned in a false sense of fear and limitations. He discovered that there is an identity-free superhero hidden within every human being who has no fear and knows no limits. He considers life as a precious gift of God and believes in exploring avenues of life, again and again, to live it to its full potential. Apart from his deep interests in spirituality and meditation, he also loves nature, adventure, photography and long drives.

Had to take action. And, act I did. Find out how I turned my ‘love-to-hate’ handles into ‘no handles’, flattened an abdomen that really no longer presented as one, and regained a measure of physical fitness the missy couldn’t ignore. All in veritably short order.
As a certified exercise physiologist who finally decided to practice what he preached, I have presented science and real-life in this book in a way you can relate to without making it come off as a fitness manual.
So, flip this, open up, and dive right in. Follow me, as I journeyed to fitness- after forty.

Author Bio:
So, here’s the thing. Not big on bios.
I’d rather not be profiled my first time out. You know, judge my work based on intrinsic merits and all.
Posted a few snippets of larger books on writing.com as a registered author many years ago. Got pretty good reviews too. Except, I never got to finish any of them. Shucks!
This though, was really personal. Had to see it through.
As a qualified exercise physiologist, with some ‘euphoric’ years teaching the subject to undergrads, I dare say I have the ‘chops’ to present the material in my book. But don’t take my word for it. You can vet all the ‘science stuff’.
Overall, I’m just your regular guy next door on this here planet of ours. Had an experience I felt the need to share (a bona fide ‘itch’), a passion for writing and yes, the required subject matter knowledge to put out this short – but packed – read.
This would have to do for a bio. For now, anyway.

About The Artist’s Page by Debra Rufini and Dina Kalo

‘The Artist’s Page’ is a poetic short story, urging a search for the Designer of life’s most valuable piece of art. It tells of an Artist who has just completed a ‘work of love’ – a gift for any of the takers.
What would your response be to a group of small people, overlooking you, to look at the masterpiece you’d lovingly made for them?
How would you feel by their admiration for your magnificent creation, as they ignore your wonderfully creative hands? Would you feel sad? Frustrated? Angry?
Imagine your relief when they leave your invisible side. Picture your joy and your gratitude with their replacement– an appreciative group marvelling at your masterpiece, undoubtedly produced by your love. Would you feel glad, grateful, relieved, believed, like the Artist in this story felt?
Just as the Artist in this story, God rejoices when we recognise His face.
The Author’s job as the story teller, is to persuade her audience to seek that evidence for The Artist.
This story invites the reader to consider the theist, atheist, and agnostic perspective.

Author Bio:
I was raised in an Amish community until I was 18 and was allowed to go out on my own. For those of you who do not know what an Amish community is, let me give you some insight. I lived with my parents and 11 siblings on a farm without electricity, running water, heating, air conditioning and many other common amenities people outside the community are used to. We grew our own food in the gardens and crops in the fields. We raised a variety of animals both for labor as well as for food consumption. There were no vehicles, horse and buggy was our mode of transportation. After 8th grade I started working full time training horses as well as carpentry work. After I left the community I traveled around for awhile working on farms or other various jobs. Eventually I returned to closer to home, purchased some land where I live with my wife and kids, teaching them how to be self sufficient and live off the land too.

About The Butcher’s Bride by Alice T. Boone

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨. 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐛’𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫
𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒆
It wasn’t a lie.
Your father’s debt had nothing to do with me, but when Malachi demanded blood, I couldn’t let you be slaughtered. You need to believe that claiming you was the only way I could save you. These beasts will never have their fill, and the only thing that could keep you safe was the name I built.
Montreal will know you as the Butcher’s Bride. Your father’s debt will be erased, your family will be safe, and eventually, you’ll realize that I did what I had to.
You have to, Gwen
Because I can’t spend a life without you.

𝑮𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒚𝒏
How could you do this to me?
After everything I told you, after everything I shared, how could you still lie to me? You made me believe you were different. You gave me the hope of a new life, and then you stole it all away.
My father had no right to trade me away, but I expected it from him. To know you were so willing to buy me, so willing to trade me, so willing to treat me like I was nothing? How was I supposed to expect that, Leslie?
I left this life behind two years ago, and not even the Butcher will drag me back.

The Butcher’s Bride is a stand-alone Irish mafia romance novel and is not for the faint of heart. If you’re looking for some violence and steamy themes, though, dive right in! Happily ever afters, no cheating, and plenty of brooding bad boys guaranteed.

About Wrath and Mercy (Sins of the Virtuous Book 5) by Faye Hall

Finley Helmer thought he had it all when Elina Clemence invited him into her bed. When circumstances forced them apart, he vowed to return to her as quickly as possible. He never imagined it would be years before he would be reunited with the woman he loves, and in the process he would be thrown into a world of smuggling black opals, drugs, and aboriginal slaves.

Elina was ripped away from her home and the man she loved when her father took her to Australia to start a new life. He promised her beauty and opportunity. Instead, she found herself forced into a marriage with a cruel and abusive man, who has a grown daughter who’s determined to destroy her.

When her husband dies, leaving Elina his fortune, constant accidents follow her, threatening her life. Elina is a profitable shipping tycoon, with control over most of the town’s supply. But despite her powerful position, her heart still aches for the man she once loved who disappeared from her life without a trace.

Finding themselves passionately reunited, Finley and Elina discover the cruelty that tore them from each other. As they search for answers, they uncover the unrelenting wrath and vengeance of an opium addict who will stop at nothing until she has possession of the black opals she thinks they are hiding.

Can Finley and Elina escape the horror that seems to be following them, or will they fall victim to the greed of an addict? And can they find the courage to once again trust each other with their hearts?

Author Bio:
Faye Hall spent her early years listening to stories about the families – including her own – who settled townships in and around her hometown in North Queensland, Australia. The local townspeople, including her own parents, told her stories of corruption and slavery, along with family secrets and forbidden love.

Desperate to remember what she’d been told, along with her already growing love of writing, Faye began to write about the history of her local area. Never could she have imagined the history of her small home town in Australia would become a growing list of published books.

Faye’s passionate stories combine controversial subjects and provocative encounters as her characters struggle to survive the lifestyle in early rural townships throughout Australia. She explores slavery and abortion, drug addiction and murder, as well as forbidden love and passionate affairs of the heart.

When she’s not writing, Faye enjoys sharing a bottle of wine with her husband in their ever-growing garden, and encouraging the varied interests of their combined family of nine children.
