He has seen talented players walk away from the game not because they lacked skill, but because they never learned to stand their ground when the pressure turned up. He wrote this book for the athlete sitting on the back of the bus with the window cold against their forehead, replaying a mistake no one else is still thinking about. This book is their answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoin the lineage. Pay the debt.
