'Reading Bill's book is to accept that I will be challenged on
every page. I will be forced to re-evaluate my beliefs some of
which will be reinforced- some changed. What a wonderful, cleansing
exercise. His calm voice speaks to me from the page, penetrating my
thoughts and exposing more about myself. I would recommend that
everyone should read this book, athletes and non-athletes. Each
chapter ends with few questions which, if reflected on and answered
honestly, helps explain why we do the things we do. Essential
reading!'
*Guillem Balague*

stories from his amazing career that provide inspiration and
strategies to remove those rocks from our individual story bags,
lighten our spirits and keep us moving towards the best version of
ourselves'
