Publisher's Summary
Tired of all the fluffy and cookie-cutter mental game advice? Keep reading to learn a reliable and repeatable way to win the mental game…
The pursuit of excellence is a double edged sword that leaves many hockey players or any high-performer worrying about mistakes, overthinking, and lacking confidence.
Fluffy and cookie-cutter advice like “be positive,” “don’t worry about it,” and “just be confident” only makes things worse. These might be the mental states you are trying to achieve, but they are not the ‘how to’.
Instead, you need to train your mind like the best athletes in the world. They use practical concepts and personalized strategies to optimize their mindset and perform when it matters most.
In this concise and practical book, Dr. Cassidy Preston pulls back the curtain on how he coaches professional athletes and high-performers in all areas of life to challenge the status quo and think differently about success and failure.
You will learn:
- Why the best athletes in the world prioritize mindset over results
- The principles & strategies professional athletes use to get in the zone
- How to stop overthinking, bounce back from mistakes, & play with unshakeable confidence
- Real-life examples and case studies of how hockey players have trained their mind and achieved Consistent Elite Performance
- Bonus: Get access to PDF worksheets, the CEP Mindset Assessment, and additional resources
Before Dr. Cassidy Preston founded CEP Mindset—one of the largest Mental Performance Coaching firms in the world, he played 5 years of junior hockey, 5 years of college hockey, and had a cup of coffee at the professional level. During this time he struggled with the mental game. But the good news was this fueled him to find a better way to get dialed in day-in and day-out.
Cassidy went on to spend 12 years at university, read 100s of books on the topic and learned directly from some of the top human performance experts in the world. This book is the accumulation of his personal, academic, & professional experience over the past 20+ years of his life.
The concepts and strategies in this book are what Cassidy and his team of coaches at CEP Mindset have used to help 10,000’s of athletes get out of their own head and start achieving Consistent Elite Performance. When athletes do the work this system delivers repeatable and reliable results.

Story
When John U. Bacon played for the Ann Arbor Huron High School River Rats, he never scored a goal. Yet somehow, years later he found himself leading his alma mater’s downtrodden program. How bad? The team hadn’t won a game in over a year, making them the nation’s worst squad. With almost everyone expecting more failure, Bacon made it special to play for Huron by making it hard, which inspired the players to excel. Then he defied conventional wisdom again by putting the players in charge of team discipline, goal-setting, and even decision-making—and it worked.
