In Business, It's Possible To Win the Gold Before the Game Begins

Oct. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- As an athlete himself, Dr. Jason Selk learned early on that one’s worth isn’t decided by wins and losses, but rather the effort one puts into the preparation. He knows that while we don’t control the outcome, we do control our preparation, execution, effort and our contribution to the team.

That perspective defined for him the term “mental toughness” and is something Dr. Selk, as one of the top sport psychology consultants in the country, instruct his clients. In fact, it was after being ‘recruited’ as Director of Sport Psychology for the St Louis Cardinals that the team won their first World Series in over 20 years.

Dr. Selk shares his winning sports psychology in '10-Minute Toughness' (McGraw-Hill, 2008) and his clients include The University of Illinois, The University of Minnesota and The University of Louisville athletics teams.

Realizing the effectiveness of his mental training programs, corporate teams have also sought his acumen. He regularly speaks with UBS Financial, Edward Jones, and Northwestern Mutual and Enterprise Holdings, to name a few.

Dr. Selk shares now his successful business psychology with the release his new book, 'Executive Toughness; The Mental-Training Program To Increase Your Leadership Performance' (McGraw-Hill, Nov 2011).

As an executive toughness mental training guide offering personal assessments,    quick, relevant exercises and self-directed and challenging goals; Executive Toughness provides a systematic and effective program that readers can grasp and find the time to incorporate into their daily work lives.
