Before you buy
What exactly do I receive?
A sport-specific Mental Performance Manual as a PDF, plus the companion workbook โ 18 chapters organised across four pillars: Foundation, The Inner Game, The Competition Mind, and Becoming Elite.
How fast do I get it?
Immediately. The download is delivered right after checkout and works on phone, tablet or computer. You can print it too โ plenty of athletes mark theirs up.
Who is this written for?
Athletes ages 13+ โ high school, AAU, travel, club and college โ plus the parents and coaches around them.
Do I need an app or a subscription?
No. One-time purchase. No app, no login, no recurring charge.
What if my athlete won't do the work?
Start with one chapter and the five-minute daily practice. Each chapter delivers value on its own โ nobody has to finish the book to benefit.
Is this a replacement for therapy or counselling?
No. This is performance education, not mental health treatment. If an athlete is struggling with anxiety, depression, or any mental health concern, please involve a qualified professional. We're glad to work alongside that support, never in place of it.
What if it isn't what I expected?
Email michael@carreracoaching.com within 30 days with your order number and we'll make it right โ a replacement, a different sport edition, or a full refund. Michael answers these personally.
Proof
What it sounds like when it works.
ECA helped me stop overthinking. I learned to focus on what I can control instead of worrying about everything else.
ECA taught me that being mentally tough doesn't mean you never get nervous or frustrated. It means you know how to respond.
The biggest difference is how athletes respond to mistakes. ECA teaches them to reset instead of letting one play affect the next.
Every sport is different
Other manuals.
Each one is written for its sport โ the drills, the pressure moments, and the language your athlete already uses.
