Publisher's Summary
The modern world bombards us with messages that we are not enough and need something outside ourselves to be fulfilled.
The truth is everything we need is already inside us. We just need to uncover it. Based on the ground-breaking mindset training and culture building platform co-founded by Dr. Michael Gervais and NFL coach Pete Carroll, Compete to Create provides a blueprint to unlock your authentic self, explore the edges of your potential, and live a life of purpose and meaning.
In this Audible Original you’ll get an in-depth look at how world-class athletes, artists, and entrepreneurs organize their inner lives to thrive in any environment. Dr. Gervais, who has spent the last two decades as a high performance psychologist, translates his experience in the trenches into actionable skills that you can apply to your everyday life. In each chapter, Coach Carroll shares lessons from his career, insights into building relationship-based teams, and how he helps people find their best.
If you know there is more inside you to discover - more to contribute, more room to grow - Compete to Create gives you the tools you need to embark on a life-changing adventure.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

We all know the dangers of sugar and salt: but the danger attributed to the second white crystal has more to do with getting too little of it, not too much. Too little salt can shift the body into semi-starvation mode, causing insulin resistance, and may even cause twice as much fat to be absorbed for every gram that's consumed. Too little salt in certain populations can also actually increase blood pressure as well as resting heart rate.

A game changer
This book has been a game change to help shape the vision i am creating for my future. My wife and I are also taking the Compete to Create course.
The audiobook + course offer powerful tools and guidance to create a compelling vision for yourself + teammates. It helps guard against distraction & mental pitfalls that so often get in the way of living a well laid out vision.
It also emphasizes the importance of optimism & collaboration and provides actionable ways to build mental strength like you would a muscle.

These guys are great
I cannot get enough of these guys. They truly care and they make it simple to learn. I have taken there online programs and they are fantastic. This book is so well done, I now have a great book that I can reference daily.
The only thing is the PDF Dr. Mike refers to. I am new to Audible and I am not sure where to find it.
Great job Dr. Mike and Coach Carroll. Glad to have you as my mentors and my coaches in life. I started reading Coach Carrols book in January and I implemented his techniques with managing my sales team. I listen to Podcast a week I love learning from these guys.

Fantastic listen
Dr. Gervais and Coach Pete,
Being an athlete this book has helped me figure out exactly where I am heading and why I’m doing. It changed my mindset in so many aspects in a very positive way.
This book is not only for athletes. I recommended it to my wife and friends that are not athletes. They have all experienced positive changes in their lives.
I can’t recommend this book enough!
Thank you guys,
Jake
