Our little mountain community has a lot of residents who make it their life goal to achieve an elite level of athletic performance. But the mental game can be as difficult to conquer as the physical one.
Jim Murphy was a professional baseball player in the Chicago Cubs organization, and he describes his journey as one in which his sense of worth and identity revolved around his performance. He felt fear of failure and always pressure to perform.
Since then, Murphy has coached professional and Olympic athletes and helped them transform their careers by empowering their Inner Excellence, the name of his bestselling book.
