Book description
Scotland needs more winners - all kinds of winners - in sport and in
life. And with the Olympics heading to London and the Commonwealth
Games coming to Glasgow, we now have the major catalysts to inspire us
to be winners. But as a nation we need to overcome our natural reserve
and tendency to underperform when it really matters. We need to find
new levels of self-belief and optimism. We need more winning role
models: more Chris Hoys, Alex Fergusons, Andy Murrays and Liz McColgans.
Packed with significant insights from Scotland's leading sportsmen
and women, past and present, Be a Winner takes the reader on a
personal journey to help them become a genuine success. It encourages
them to set their own sporting goals and identify their own personal
bests, and, most importantly, gives guidance about how to reach them,
through the example of great Scottish winners. It also highlights the
steps that an individual can take to develop a winning mentality.
From motivation to dedication, competitiveness to teamwork, this
book covers all the bases. Be a Winner tells it straight when
it comes to sport and how to succeed in it, through the advice of the
Scottish men and women who have reached the very pinnacle of their
various fields. This book will enable a proud Scot to become a 'super Scot'.
