Life Changing. This is by far the best sport psychology book ever written! It is a must read for any striving to reach their potential in life! It is one you will want to read over and over again!

Get committed!. I travel with this book & re-read many of the chapters & I always pick up something new that inspires me to be a better mom, wife, coach, daughter, & friend. I love the messages of being more transformational! Transformational doesn't mean being "soft" or too easy...you can be demanding without being demeaning in sport, in business, & in your life! Pick up this book & get on board to having a happier & more fulfilled life.

Change your mind — change your life. This book will help!. Yep, I had to replace my hi-liter not once, but TWICE. That’s how I know a book has captivated me. And that’s exactly how I felt while reading “Burn Your Goals” by Joshua Medcalf and Jamie Gilbert. Maybe I shouldn’t use the word “read.” It was more like “explore,” “mine,” “ponder” and “savor.” And after I finished, it’s become “return” and “review.” Ask any parent how much of athletics is mental, and to a person they will answer “at least half.” Yet what do we do when our child misses a ground ball? We take him in the back yard and hit him a hundred. But “Burn Your Goals” asks us to consider a different — and much more effective — approach to achieving excellence: teaching straight to the hearts and minds of those in our care. Through powerful storytelling and through the lens of their own experiences, both Joshua and Jamie share valuable mental training strategies that coaches, parents and business leaders can begin TODAY. If you truly want to make a difference in your own area of the world — and if you desire to be a leader who truly transforms hearts and minds — pick up this book today! It’s counter-cultural, for sure. But it’s evident throughout the pages of “Burn Your Goals” that Joshua and Jamie do all things with love. And that’s exactly what transformational coaching is all about.

Head Women's Basketball - love this book!. I loved this book!!! It has deeply impacted me and our team. I have lived this book because of Joshua's influence and I'm closer to being a transformational coach as a result. It is unique, innovative, thought provoking and practical all at the same time. It's a must read if you want to impact people through sports.

Burn Your Goals. All I can say is wow! I’m a blessed Christian, strong family man and successful business man. I was expecting a challenging boost from this book but got a gut check. Even as good as things have been, I still had hidden self-destructive thoughts and behaviors which were holding me back, from even closer relationships, stronger faith and better things, that "Burn Your Goals" vividly exposed. Very applicable and beneficial to daily real life situations. Thanks to the authors.

Thank You For Writing This!. After spending the greater of my life in the ultra-competitive environment that usually accompanies athletics, this book is a breath of fresh air. The guys at "Train to be Clutch" have put together something really special by taking the focus off of "winning" and putting it back where it belongs, on "the process." I only wish someone would have shared this information with me while I was still competing as an athlete or, at the very least, before I started coaching. Whether you are a student, an athlete, a teacher, a coach, a parent, or a businessman, there is something in this book that can improve your life. Put "first things first!"

Good vs Great. If you're a coach, you know that coaching to the mental game separates the good from the greats. This book is a game changer for the mental approach to competing, and just life in general. I can say with full confidence I will be a nether coach this year applying these principles.

Burn Your Goals. As a coach of a team, I constantly look for ways to get the best from my players and teach them life lessons. This book gives some sound advice to coaches, parents, and anyone looking to figure out what's important in your life. A great read!

Game changer. This book takes a fresh look at how to progress in your life. Packed with terrific tips and ideas, it takes the idea that we should be goal driven and exposes it as a flawed model. John Wooden never talked to his teams about winning, it was all process. This book is helping me figure out ways to become more focused on the processes I need to improve to get more out of myself. Multiple reads reveal more insights! It's a positive game changer. It's easy to read, easy to understand, and incredibly useful as a tool in sports, business, and life.

Athletics Administrator. In simplicity, changes your perspective on life for the better. Greatness. Applies to all areas of life - not just sports. Must read. Connor

Burn your GOALS. I loved how practical and real life these stories are and how important it is to keep our players hearts FIRST. Can't wait to see the impact "what went well journals" have on our entire team & staff. We have already seen transformation with individuals. Great read and life changing as a coach!

Improve your Game! Change the way you think. This book is a must read for coaches, parents, and anyone who wants to take their game to the next level.

Practical & Applicable. It's great to read a book that is not only packed with information--Great Info!, but also with practical ways to apply that info in your every day life. As a basketball coach I think this book is great for anybody in a competitive profession. You'll be better as a person for reading this book!

Assistant Women’s Basketball Coach at Marshall University. This is by far the most challenging book that I have ever encountered. I am currently in the process of applying the growth mindset and it has changed my life. I was completely disgusted when Jamie told me to burn my goals, but after he explained and I read why it was a no brainer. I don’t want limits on myself nor anyone that I have the privilege to help. Warning: If you don’t want to be challenge to be pushed out your comfort zone, then don’t read this book. If You want to reach places that you dream about, then I recommend not only to read the book, but to apply the concepts and Live this new way of Life!

Fantastic book, very beneficial. This is one of the best books I have read. The information that is found within the pages is challenging and transformational. Highly recomend!

So much good stuff in here.. Excellent read for coaches, athletes, and parents too, but you can take the underlying principles and make good use of them anywhere. Focus on the controllables and get on the (difficult) path to excellence by consistently doing the little things well and serving other people. Stop being used by sports and use your sport to challenge yourself and grow! Joshua and Jamie see things from a different perspective, and you'd do well to learn how and why.

Must read for every athlete and coach!. Coaches, if you read this book you will be armed with strategies for how to get your athletes to perform at an optimal level. You will be primed to motivate them to achieve everything that you and they envision.

Athletes, if you read this book you will better understand what it takes to be elite in your sport.

I’ve read this book twice in the three months I’ve owned it, and I’ve implemented the strategies that Joshua and Jamie talk about in every single golf and basketball practice that I run. After reading it for the first time, I bought five additional copies to share with athletes and coaches I work with. This book is transformational. Read it.

Highly Recommended for coaches. This book presents not just a new way of thinking, but a new way of life if you truly believe in it's message. Joshua and Jamie share their knowledge in relatable stories and anecdotes, so it's easy to understand their argument: goals are meaningless for success, but falling in love with the journey is not! This is highly recommended to fellow coaches and their athletes. Their message will really make you think, but it's a great read! Fall in love with the journey, treat people really really well and.... Burn Your Goals!

Change the Trajectory of your Life. Regardless of your walk of life: coach, athlete, parent, leader, business owner, etc…Burn Your Goals is a must-read. This fast-paced book will make you re-examine your current thoughts/beliefs and could change the trajectory of your life.

Very Valuable Book. I am extremely excited for the upcoming teaching and coaching season after reading this book. I have a renewed passion and energy for what I do and I believe you will too after reading Burn Your Goals! There is a wealth of wisdom in this book from many different people and authors. Joshua has made it accessible and enjoyable to read! His enthusiasm jumps right off the page at you.

Burn your goals. Loved it!!!

Finally a 21st century approach to excellence. This book should replace whatever is on the top of your reading list. I've read several books and listened to several "experts" on the subject. No one made me rethink everything while also providing solutions like BYG. This AD and father of 4 gives it my highest recommendation.

Burn your goals. As a college coach I have found myself easily drawn to the measuring stick of wins and losses. After reading Burn Your Goals I have a much clearer understanding of how to put First thing first and commit to the process. Joshua and Jamie are genius in their explanation and teaching of the things we need to do to achieve our best potential. I have adopted the counter culture method with amazing success with my team and you should too! It will change your life and the way you look at things. Greg Towne

so good I bought 5. This was one of the few books I have read from cover-to-cover in one sitting. It was so good that I bought 5 hard copies to hand out to family and friends. Great for players and coaches, but more importantly this book teaches techniques, provides advice, and offers tips that can be applied to any vocation.

powerful. unconventional. I found this book to be really powerful and honest. The authors, both athletes, write from experience. I love their definition of mental toughness: Have a great attitude. Give your very, very best. Treat people really, really well. Have unconditional gratitude regardless of circumstances. I’ve found that most books and coaches focus on mental toughness as not choking, or not striking out when the game is on the line, or even getting angry when you strike out. The foundational principles laid out in the book are so powerful: Put first things first. burn your goals. (focus on commitments instead). focus on controllables. Focus on true mental toughness. Another part i found super important is how we create beliefs: What we read, watch, and listen to. Who we surround ourselves with. What we visualize. How we talk to ourselves. What we habitually do. I found the book really powerful and got extra copies to give away.

Teacher/Coach/Administrator. This book was recommended to me months ago. I put it off for awhile and ended up purchasing the Kindle version. I wish I hadn't have waited so long. I ended up reading the book twice in one week on my summer vacation. The book is filled with great stories and insights to help you transform the way you think and act as a leader. I have already purchased 10 copies of the book to hand out the staff and coaches I lead in my context. One of the highlights of the book is the reading challenge at the end of the book. The authors make many great recommendations to help you along your path to mastery. I encourage you to buy this book and recommend it to everyone you know.

Teacher/Basketball Coach. This book is a life changer. The manner in which I deal with students and athletes has forever changed for the better due to reading this book. I will be reading it again and again for the rest of my career, as well as recommending it to friends, co-workers, and athletes. Do yourself a favor and read this book - it will change your world!
